Description

This course will assist in laying a basic foundation of knowledge for using 'sustainable design' assessment tools and rating schemes to inform the building design process. The course will also enable students to engage in self-directed studies such as research and continuing development of professional careers.The course will introduce the Australian rating schemes "GREENSTAR" and "BASIX" as sustainable design aids. By the end of the course the students will have become familiar with the use of these two Australian assessment tools in design.
