About the program
The architectural, engineering, and construction community faces the daunting task of providing a built environment which is in harmony with the natural environment—meeting the current needs of society without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable development means integrating the decision-making process across the project team, so that every decision is made with an eye to the greatest long-term benefits.
Currently, in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, the construction process represents a significant portion of the effort required to achieve high performance building programs. This Sustainability and Green Construction (Online) at Drexel University is intended to explore these concepts in detail. Credits from this certificate will transfer toward a Master of Science in Construction Management.
