Description
Green design is an evolutionary process—every day designers, engineers, academics and other innovators continue to expand the constellation of green design materials and techniques. No set of professional standards could ever be exhaustive enough to deal with every conceivable scenario. Therefore, a wholistic ethical understanding of green design is necessary, as is an ability to embrace the constant change inherent to the industry.
This course will cover ethical concepts, codified professional ethical standards as they relate to green design, as well as topical environmental and group functionality issues.
