Spring 2025 Teaching
This graduate level mini-course compares global community and infrastructure rating systems to gain perspective about sustainable infrastructure development and community design. The course uses USGBC's LEED Cities & Communities Rating System and the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) Envision Rating System as springboards for exploration and discussion of other world rating systems that address these topics.
