This webinar is part of the Mastering Movement Academy
Through case studies and examples of new product technology, this webinar will explore recent innovations in sustainable design. Speakers will discuss how material specification can greatly impact embodied and occupied carbon reduction, conserve natural resources and protect ecosystems, reduce waste through recycling and efficient design, and improve occupant well-being (IAQ). This AIA-approved CEU will provide practical and “boots on the ground” examples of how architects and designers can support the sustainable goals of clients, as well as go above and beyond the call to create a statement of sustainability for their firm.
