The Sustainable Design courses are available fully online, in partnership with BuildingGreen, a trusted source of unbiased information for building industry professionals concerned with environmental performance. The online format offers convenience and flexibility, combined with interactivity and participation, creating an effective learning environment.
Our courses are ideal if you are interested in integrated design, technical expertise in green building, or a general understanding of the sustainable design movement. Many courses in the sustainable design program are approved by the AIA for Health, Safety, and Welfare/Sustainable Design (HSW/SD) continuing education learning units (LUs) for architectural registration and AIA membership requirements. Check under Course Descriptions for eligible courses.
Many of our courses have been endorsed and are included in the USGBC’s Education Providers Program, at the Application/Implementation level. The courses were thoroughly reviewed by the USGBC’s Professional Development Committee, and they are included in the Education Providers Program as highest-quality offerings. These courses provide LEED AP continuing education units (CEU's). Check under Course Descriptions for eligible courses.
Completing one of our courses can provide eligibility for those wishing to take the LEED Green Associate test. Consult the Green Building Certification Institute (gbci.org) for further details.
Participants in our instructor-led, online courses can login at their convenience from any location with Internet access. Please visit the What to Expect in an Online Course page for more information about the online courses. On campus courses meet at the BAC in Boston’s Back Bay area. Offered in eight-week segments throughout the year, courses are led by practicing design professionals and green building experts.
