Course Description
Focuses on strategies and metrics for "greening" existing buildings. Sustainability over the Life of a Building will explore the criteria and documentation needed to certify a building at NC State in the LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (EBOM) rating system. This course will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary work while working toward sustainability goals. Over the course of the semester, students will research various criteria and thresholds for the LEED EBOM system. Through this in-depth process, students will synthesize core knowledge about LEED credits to better understand opportunities for strategies in green buildings. Over the course of the semester, students will research various criteria in-depth which are needed for LEED Existing Building Certification, not only becoming familiar with the rating system itself, but also the foundation for each of the addressed LEED credits, as well as context for decisions made in the realm of green buildings.
