Building Sustainable Spaces: HVAC Solutions That Reduce Environmental Impacts

Building Sustainable Spaces: HVAC Solutions That Reduce Environmental Impacts

to take this course

Specifying a sustainable HVAC system is essential for achieving a more efficient, comfortable, durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly built environment. In this course, our team discusses why design professionals should specify sustainably manufactured HVAC products that help reduce waste, decrease carbon emissions, and save energy. We review how sustainable HVAC systems can contribute to the LEED v4.1 BD+C rating system and reduce environmental impacts.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Evaluate the value add for specifying sustainably manufactured HVAC products aimed at reducing waste, decreasing carbon emissions, and saving energy for LEED v4.1 BD+C projects
  2. Assess sustainability strategies and how they contribute to the LEED v4.1 BD+C rating system to better understand how HVAC systems can achieve sustainability designations
  3. Analyze how sustainable HVAC systems can contribute to LEED v4.1 BD+C rating system and the Living Building Challenge and create healthier spaces for occupants
  4. Examine best practices for specifying and utilizing sustainable HVAC systems
