Despite increasing awareness, stiffer regulations, and improved methodologies, construction waste remains a significant and growing portion of the overall waste stream. Building designers play a significant role in preventing the initial creation of waste by specifying waste-reducing building design and construction methodologies, as well as managing waste in their own offices. This course provides an overview of current construction waste and landfill issues, their potential impacts, and strategies for addressing them. It then focuses on an innovative material sample system that eliminates a sizable portion of the waste generated by construction material samples.

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

  • Recall the environmental, health, and cost impacts of waste creation and landfill disposal when selecting construction methodologies and materials.
  • Integrate an effective waste-reducing sample management system into their overall management practices.
  • Utilize collaborative design approaches that identify and prevent the potential creation of construction waste.
  • Specify construction methodologies that reduce or eliminate construction waste.

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