A primer on sustainable landscape design techniques
This course is approved for 0.5 GBCI Continuation Education (CE) credits. After completing the course you can report your credit towards LEED credential maintenance.
Often landscape design is correlated with sustainability. Landscapes connect humans directly to natural systems, while providing a setting for different kinds of uses. At the same time, it’s important to ensure that the landscape itself preserve the local ecology, hydrology and biodiversity. For that, landscapes must be viewed as more than just an aesthetic add-on.
This course will introduce you to sustainable landscape design and prepare you to distinguish between favourable and unfavourable landscape practices. Further, you’ll learn how these strategies can be leveraged to optimize green building performance.
If you want to explore landscape strategies that can complement green building design, this course is right for you!
At the end of the course, you’ll be able to chalk out a sustainability plan for landscape design in your LEED project.

simple and easy to follow
The course does not contain any detailed topic. It consists of very basic knowledge which is not worth spending money that too on the platform where learners come to learn. Being a learner I had expected more from the Udemy.
This is a great Introductory Course. Thank you. I would like to have seen nicer photographs and more Case Studies. Content too could have been a bit more for 45 minutes with a faster reading speed. But I enjoyed the course very much.
Good
Wonderful information and knowledge, great footage, needs a little fine-tuning.
I like the information, but I thought I was going to learn how to implement and build landscaping structures
Very informative and crisp content
The videos are very good keeping the interest and concentration constant
And the method of explanation and defining things are very well thought and efficient for all types of candidates
Good job i really enjoyed
I believe this course is for general public not for professionals
Awful, not what I expected at all
