COURSE DESCRIPTION: Building on concepts of sustainability and green construction practices covered in CSTN 282, students will attain further knowledge of green building techniques, materials and practices. Utilizing costs/benefits analysis, life cycle costs, embodied energy evaluation, and overall sustainability of various materials and methods students will learn basic methods of green building design, technique, documentation and certification Students will gain valuable project experience utilizing one or more national green rating systems to register, evaluate and document an actual green building project. Preparation for the LEED Green Associate Exam will be covered in this course.   STUDENT PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES:  Occupational Performance Objectives Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:  1. Identify and compare existing energy codes, green building codes and green rating systems. 2. Identify and compare cost and performance of building materials with recycled components, non-petroleum based materials, materials with low volatile organic compounds, materials with low embodied energy and salvaged materials and incorporate them into design. 3. Identify and use construction materials and methods that more easily allow for salvage and re-use of building materials. 4. Perform demolition in ways that allow for salvage of re-usable building materials. 5. Understand the techniques and benefits of building performance testing, monitoring and metering. 6. Identify and make use of techniques for weatherization and sustainable remodeling of existing structures.  7. Recognize and demonstrate methods for green project management, certification registration and documentation and green rating system compliance.  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  90%    Attendance 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:  REQUIRED TEXT: ICC 700 National Green Building Standard 2012           LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook           Understanding Green Building Guidelines: For Students and Young  Professionals.
