Student Case Studies

In alignment with the objectives of this course, students are to become more aware of green developments touting sustainability within our built environment - past, present and prospective. While many projects will be introduced to the class through slide shows and class discussion, students will be asked to prepare their own critical analysis of a “green” building in the format of a class presentation. Building or project types are to the discretion of the student, but it is advised they consult with the instructor prior to their investigation. Students are encouraged to select projects of their own interest, involvement, or of their home country or city.
