It was very detailed course covering everything in a simple language that a beginner can also understand. Thank you instructors, course designers, Coursera and EduTech.
The course delves into sustainability, addressing the environmental impact of construction materials and advocating for the use of green products. Various green certifications and sustainable alternatives for building materials are discussed, emphasizing the importance of reducing the environmental footprint in construction. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is explained in four phases: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation of results. Green project management, focusing on positive environmental, social, and economic impacts, is detailed across phases: project definition, design integration, construction implementation, and commissioning. The module also highlights the significant environmental impacts of buildings and introduces global green building rating systems, with a specific focus on India's GRIHA and IGBC systems and their role in promoting sustainable design practices.
