Sustainable Building Class!
Sustainable Building Class!02/10/2012
Aloha!
Our recent settlement in Santa Cruz, California has allowed for us the time, space, and focus to really build up our educational foundation. On of my biggest goals for Dreem Reality has been to acquire some true knowledge on the various sustainable elements. Usually I consider myself a generalist and facilitator, but am eager to become an even more devoted specialist. Thus, we have taken up a few classes at our local community college that will assist in developing specific knowledge: Edible Landscaping (see this blog) and Sustainable Building.
This blog's purpose is to introduce the Sustainable Building class and how we intend to incorporate the lessons learned and projects completed into Dreem Reality. What a perfect opportunity to share knowledge with everyone!
The first Sustainable Building class was held this past Tues, Feb 7th at Cabrillo college. The professor is a licensed professional Mechanic Engineer and a LEED accredited professional, who is enthusiastically open to sharing his knowledge and resources on his college website (here). Our syllabus promises to introduce us to topics such as: building design, site selection, passive solar fundamentals, sustainable building materials and methods, Build-It-Green and GreenPoint rating, and more.
Throughout the semester we will be responsible for providing our evaluation of various Sustainable Building articles and engaging in class discussions. Melinda and I are looking forward to sharing our evaluations with you! The first is due next Tuesday. I just completed mine and will be posting it momentarily under the tag "Article Evaluations". Our final project will be a group evaluation of an actual Sustainable Building, which we will make sure to share with you as well.
I am truly excited for the opportunity to grow my knowledge on Sustainable Building in a stable environment that will allow for the blossoming of various elements of Dreem Reality.
Hope you enjoy the article!
