Specifying Fireplaces to Meet National Green Building Programs

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

A fireplace can be the center of interest in a space, be a supplemental heat source, and can help meet green design objectives. This program explains how hearth products contribute to home comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and environmental sustainability. Discussions pertain to how to identify different hearth product categories, and how some types qualify for national green building programs, and why others do not.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss four key “green” benefits of hearth systems: home comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and environmental sustainability.
  • Identify and explain key similarities and differences, in the standards and requirements, of national green building programs.
  • Compare the attributes of different hearth systems, and demonstrate how some fireplace types comply with national green building program standards for hearth products, and why other fireplace types do not comply.
  • Evaluate fireplace choice considerations, industry fact and consensus to specify the appropriate green hearth system, for a specific project, to support industry fact.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
