EDUCATING GREEN

THE CHALLENGE

Building “green” is one of the hottest areas of study in the AEC industry. There are many factors driving this trend. A primary reason is the understanding that even though a green building may cost more up front, it ultimately delivers savings through lower operating costs over the life of the building. Savings are being realized from energy efficiency, improved occupant heath and increased indoor air quality.

Recent studies reveal that buildings with good overall environmental quality can reduce the rate of respiratory disease, allergy, asthma, sick building symptoms, as well enhance worker performance. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report the potential financial benefits of improving indoor environments exceed costs by a factor of eight. Knowing that, it is no surprise more and more building owners are requiring green building techniques and environmental considerations as part of the overall building design and construction process.

THE SOLUTION

RedVector offers a complete, end-to-end solution for getting your team “green.” Our course library contains over 70 hours of online green courses covering everything from Recycled Energy Technologies to Sun, Wind, & Light: Strategies for Buildings.

Additionally, RedVector has partnered with the University of Tennessee to develop a Certificate Program covering the field of sustainable design, including (but not limited to) preparing professionals to take the LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) exam. LEED is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green building. Development of the 64 courses that will comprise the entire RedVector/UT LEED program began in April 2008 and will continue through 2009. For a preview, see the Featured Course on the right.
