Sustainable Construction Management

Sustainable construction is transforming how buildings are planned, designed, built, and maintained. Learn how construction professionals can deliver projects that reduce environmental impact, improve resource efficiency, and create healthier, high-performance buildings throughout their lifecycle. Explore sustainable construction management practices from project conception through facility operations, including project delivery methods, stakeholder collaboration, and the critical role of facility and property managers. The course also introduces modern construction technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), laser scanning, drones, and Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling to support more efficient and sustainable project delivery. Examine strategies for reducing energy consumption, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, managing stormwater and erosion, incorporating renewable energy, and selecting sustainable building systems and materials - through practical examples. Gain an understanding of green building certification programs, including LEED and Green Globes, and discover current trends shaping the future of sustainable construction. Designed for construction professionals, project managers, engineers, architects, facility managers, students, and anyone interested in sustainable infrastructure, this course provides practical knowledge to help you plan, manage, and deliver environmentally responsible construction projects.
