•
Materials Selection and Sourcing for Sustainable Construction
This unit focuses on the importance of selecting materials that minimize environmental impact, considering factors such as recyclability, reusability, and the extraction of raw materials. Students will learn about sustainable materials sourcing strategies and their application in the construction industry. •
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Materials
This unit introduces students to the concept of Life Cycle Assessment, a method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of materials throughout their entire life cycle. Students will learn how to conduct LCAs, analyze data, and apply the results to improve material selection and design. •
Sustainable Materials for Building Envelope Systems
This unit explores the role of sustainable materials in building envelope systems, including walls, roofs, and windows. Students will learn about materials with high thermal performance, low embodied energy, and minimal environmental impact. •
Circular Economy Approaches to Materials Management
This unit delves into the principles of the circular economy and their application in materials management. Students will learn about design for circularity, product-as-a-service, and closed-loop production systems, and how these approaches can reduce waste and promote sustainability. •
Green Building Materials and Products
This unit focuses on the development and use of green building materials and products, including low-VOC paints, recycled materials, and sustainable insulation. Students will learn about the benefits and challenges of using these materials in construction projects. •
Carbon Footprint Analysis of Materials
