The principles of heattransfer, moisture migration and airflow are examined along with their impact on buildingperformance. Integrated green building design, building site selection and evaluation, review ofalternative construction materials, indoor air quality, water efficiency and green building projectmanagement are covered. The elements and design patterns for successful passive solar buildings as well as strategies for green remodel and retrofit are discussed. STUDENT PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES:Occupational Performance Objectives Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:	1. 	 Understand the guiding principles of green building as well as the importance of sustainability throughout the built environment.	2. 	 Understand the role of integrated building design in sustainable construction. 3. 	 Identify and understand the conditions when selecting and designing any building site that will contribute to increased energy performance and lower environmental impact.4. 	 Understand the principles of building science and their impact on built structures.5. 	 Evaluate building assemblies and apply the building science principles to recognize best practices in building and design systems. 6. 	 Understand the theoretical basics for using solar energy to generate heat and electricity in both active and passive systems.                                                7. 	 Recognize how buildings consume energy, understand the measurement and predictions of energy use calculations and identify strategies in design and construction for energy reduction.8. 	 Evaluate building and design techniques to minimize material quantities, enhance material durability, and improve sustainable qualities.9. 	 Understand Indoor air quality and ventilation strategies to avoid and eliminate all potential indoor air contaminants. 10. Recognize material differences in composition in materials that impact the overall environmental footprint of individual materials and assemblies.11. Understand Life Cycle Analysis tools used for whole building or assembly evaluation.   12. Identify and compare cost and performance of building materials with recycled components. 13. Identify and make use of salvaged building materials.14. Perform demolition in ways that allow for salvage of re-usable building materials.15. Compare cost and performance of composite construction products.16. Be aware of natural, non-petroleum based materials and low volatile organic compound points, adhesives and sealants.17. Use construction materials and methods that more easily allow for salvage and re-use of building materials.18. Be able to integrate all of the components into the design of a green residence or remodel. STUDENT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT METHODS AND GRADING PROCEDURES:Grading Scale: 90 - 100% = A 80 - 89% = B 70 - 79% = C 60 - 69% = D 0 - 59% = F NOTE: Courses must be passed with a ‘C minus (C-)‘ or greater to count toward degree/certificate requirements.Grade Breakdown:Lecture: 	 Tests 60%    Attendance 30% Participation 10% Note: 1. 	 Tests will be as required.2. 	 Safety glasses are required when in the lab.3. 	 Hearing protection is required in lab.4. 	 Hardhats are required in the lab and on jobsites.HOW VARIOUS ASSESSMENT METHODS WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE THE COURSE:  1. Student course evaluations 2. 	Peer feedback 3. 	Advisory committee feedback ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students missing 20% or more of the classes will be dropped 1 grade point.
