Sustainable construction is transforming how buildings are planned, designed, built, and maintained. Learn how construction professionals can deliver projects that reduce environmental impact, improve resource efficiency, and create healthier, high-performance buildings throughout their lifecycle. Explore sustainable construction management practices from project conception through facility operations, including project delivery methods, stakeholder collaboration, and the critical role of facility and property managers. The course also introduces modern construction technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), laser scanning, drones, and Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling to support more efficient and sustainable project delivery. Examine strategies for reducing energy consumption, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, managing stormwater and erosion, incorporating renewable energy, and selecting sustainable building systems and materials - through practical examples. Gain an understanding of green building certification programs, including LEED and Green Globes, and discover current trends shaping the future of sustainable construction. Designed for construction professionals, project managers, engineers, architects, facility managers, students, and anyone interested in sustainable infrastructure, this course provides practical knowledge to help you plan, manage, and deliver environmentally responsible construction projects.

Content was good but very high level. I wouldn't consider this an intermediate level course.
The content is borderline scratching on a chalk board. Yes, the "instructor" is knowledgeable yet he delivers the information in a way you cannot process it, or store it (which is ironic since a portion of his lessons are about proper material storage and usage). The "knowledge checks" and weekly quizzes, are over information that is hardly spoken about. On more than a few occasions the quizzes covered material that wasn't even spoken about (yes I went through word by word, and you had to piece meal the information into an acceptable answer). The weekly quizzes do not give you feedback so I went through question by question, making sure I had the relevant information. I could have learned the material faster just by doing it this way instead of having to sit around and listen to this man speak in a horrible way. I failed two weekly quizzes, yet still passed the overall test. It makes little sense on how this is organized and graded. The content is necessary, yet they need to restructure this entire content. Coming home and listening to this man makes me want to leave the construction industry for good.
