WGF 104 Sustainable Building/Facility
This course focuses on setting baselines of ever-changing best management practices (BMPs) for operations and maintenance (O&M) that create and sustain green or high-performance buildings/facilities. National green building rating systems such as LEED and tools through ENERGY STAR for evaluating the sustainability of the existing buildings/facilities are discussed. Students learn to identify and apply specific O&M practices for specific performance of existing buildings and newly designed green buildings and facilities. 12 (2 lecture hours and 2 laboratory hours)
