Sustainable building product solutions including building envelope (insulation), daylighting, illumination, indoor environment quality, intelligent building and renewable energy are discussed in detail. Considering cost and performance metrics for materials like insulation and long-term payback estimates are also examined. Upon completion of the course, attendees will earn 1.5 sustainable design and health, safety and welfare learning units. Visit www.bayermaterialsciencenafta.com.
