Description
This course consists of 8 modules covering the GSAS Materials category and its criteria. The construction sector has a significant impact on the environment. It accounts for the consumption of approximately 40% of the raw stone, gravel, and sand used worldwide annually, 25% of the raw timber and the associated embodied carbon emissions for such materials. Eco-friendly construction materials can contribute to reduce the adverse impacts on the environment, and create sustainable buildings promoting the health and well-being of occupants.
Objective
The Materials [M] category is concerned with the conservation of natural resources and the use or reuse of materials and structure to have the least environmental impact.
