➤ Site Strategies for Energy & Fuel Efficiency
(Included on this listserv because it deals with vegetation, pavements, and roofs, which are all part of the stormwater infrastructure system, but we’ll be looking at them through the lens of how they affect energy demand and fuel consumption.) This course serves as an upper level in-depth study of best management practices that can reduce demand for energy inside and outside the building through sustainable landscape design, construction and operations and maintenance.
