(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours Learn theory and practical applications of methods for assessing and reporting sustainability. Students examine concepts of life cycle assessment and the ecopoint system—with emphasis on evaluation of the environmental, social, and economic effects of products, processes, and projects. Topics include: climate change, green building standards (e.g., LEED), and global reporting frameworks involving sustainability disclosure standards. Case studies are used to examine the application within Alberta’s regulatory system, economic sectors, and Indigenous contexts.
