1 Course Description UL Environment Clearing the Air on Sustainability: Why Good Indoor Air Quality Matters ULECTA Speaker Name/s Date This course identifies overarching aspects of Sustainability and how sustainable design works to integrate societal, economic and environmental goals for the benefit of all. Discussion of how synergies can be created by implementation of these elements resulting in improved health, lower energy consumption, productivity increases, and decreased building maintenance costs is covered, with special emphasis on good indoor air quality (IAQ) and improved health, as this is one aspect of sustainable design that has the biggest impact on user comfort and the financial success and life expectancy of the built environment. First, second and third-party certifications are discussed, specifically the resources they provide to design and construction professionals as contrasted with greenwashing tactics. Cost analysis studies are also provided to identify average green building premiums and long-term cost benefits. Course conclusion highlights the overall progress of sustainable design. Learning Objectives At the end of the this course, participants will be able to: 1. Identify major tenets of Sustainability 2. Discuss how aspects of energy, material content, water usage, and IAQ impact building occupants 3. Gain understanding of various types of product certifications versus greenwashing claims 4. Assess green building premiums, longterm benefits, and the progress of sustainable design. Clearing the Air On Sustainability: Why Good Indoor Air Quality Matters 1

6 Is there an information filter? GREENWASH - the act of misleading (intentionally or not) consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service -- No time to explore new manufacturers So many labels---which ones are legitimate? Do I really need to know it all? 6
7 Misleading Claims The Solution Low Performing Products Engage all players of the sustainability effort Use of and reliance on Eco Labels and 3 rd party Certifications Easier decision - making process; technical issues explained, reliable claims documentation IAQ Issues Occupant Health & Well-being Eco-Label: Individual or organization that offers a product or service with some type of verification, assurance, label or certification to a standard or set of criteria.
