About this webinar

This course will provide an opportunity for architects and designers to expand their thinking on sustainability issues with a focus on materials and resources. As key players in the design of the built environment, designers are in a position to positively impact human health while making design choices that respect people and the planet. Participants will derive foundational knowledge for making sound specification decisions and wisely using resources.
