Course Description: CEU Events: Climate Positive Materials for Sustainable Interiors
In this CEU we'll discuss new thinking about the true meaning of sustainability, the causes and effects of manmade climate change, and how the choices designers make have real-world impacts. We'll also explore a category of materials - materials you're already using - that go beyond sustainable, that are actually Climate Positive.
Explore how sustainable practices support long-term well-being for people and the planet.
Identify gaps and challenges in current environmental strategies, including recycling, carbon offsets, and greenwashing.
Learn to assess the impact of materials, products, and industries using carbon footprint and embodied carbon metrics.
Understand the environmental effects of buildings and interiors and strategies to minimize long-term impacts.
Examine climate-positive solutions, such as wood-based products, that regenerate naturally and store carbon over time.
