Course Overview

Site design is a fundamentally important aspect of high performance design. The choices made during site selection and site planning affect the entire facility. Regardless of what site is chosen, and whether it is in an urban or rural landscape, the site can be developed wisely to incorporate ideas that support the high performance goals of the entire project.

This course presents an overview on resource-efficient site design and recommendations for site orientation. The course is worth one hour of continuing education credit in the area of Health, Safety, Welfare.
