Masonry is an ideal sustainable building construction material as it is extremely durable, recyclable, and reusable. It allows for extraordinary design versatility, so it can meet both aesthetic and functional requirements. This course looks at the design elements, components, and construction techniques that characterize sustainable masonry cavity wall building envelopes.

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

  • State the construction techniques that support LEED® credit requirements and help in the design of sustainable building envelopes.
  • Define the basics of the cradle-to-cradle philosophy in order to specify processes and materials that support this design approach.
  • Describe appropriate materials and construction techniques necessary to design sustainable masonry envelopes.
  • Explain and avoid poor design and detailing techniques that can lead to masonry envelope failure.

Approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
