Growing concern over the future of our planet makes Green Building Materials: An Introduction a must for any professional in the AEC industry. This 3-hour interactive online course advocates the environmental benefits of green building materials by introducing you to the positive effects of building with environmentally friendly products, made especially with the future in mind. You will learn about green building materials and why they are important not only to the environment, but also to humans because they prevent future health problems caused so often by toxic chemicals. You’ll also learn about the economic benefits, common misconceptions, consumer demand, professional responsibilities, and the “look” of green material. This is the first of two courses in a series on green building material.
ATTN: This educational offering is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as satisfying 3 hours of credit toward the required continuing education.
