Course: A Holistic View of Carbon in the Built Environment

This course examines the principles associated with carbon emissions over the life of a building. The carbon footprint of a building does not begin when the building becomes operational but rather during design and continues through demolition or deconstruction. The role that design and construction professionals play in regard to product transparency will also be discussed

  • Understand the principles of carbon emissions and carbon neutrality (net zero carbon footprint) and how they can contribute to sustainable building practices.
  • Explore the difference between operational and embodied carbon emissions and their relationship over the lifecycle of a building.
  • Review options for the reduction of carbon emissions, particularly embodied carbon emissions.
  • Examine the concept of product transparency and how transparency tools can be used in green design and construction.

Course: A Case for Continuous Insulation: Building Science, Market Demand, and Common Sense

The name of the game is being able to achieve more using fewer resources. Building with continuous insulation is one way to do just that.

After this course, you should be able to:

  • Understand the building science principles behind thermal comfort.
  • Review thermal resistance of assemblies vs. materials.
  • Explain practical solutions for working with continuous insulation.
  • Define the existing third-party tests that can be used to evaluate the performance of wall assemblies.

Course: GPS Thermal Insulation

By 2050, planet Earth is expected to have 9 Billion people living on it. Managing our resources today is more important than ever before.

By the end of this 1 HSW LU course, you will learn how GPS (Graphite Polystyrene) can help contribute to a more sustainable tomorrow.

At the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Explain the basic chemistry of GPS rigid insulation.
  • Understand the resource efficiency benefits of GPS.
  • Discuss how moisture management properties of GPS contribute toward the walls drying strategy.
  • Explain suitable applications for GPS insulation.
  • Review GPS reference projects.
