| 11/2008 | LEED for Existing Buildings [links to: continuingeducation.construction.com] September’s technology section looks at several types of green roofs and walls, examining the challenges and benefits of “greening” dense urban locations. |
| 09/2008 | Verdant Surfaces [links to: continuingeducation.construction.com] As the benefits of green walls and roofs become common Knowledge, interest grows as rapidly as the vegetation. |
| 07/2008 | Toward Wiser Water Strategies [links to: continuingeducation.construction.com] To lessen the burden on increasingly constrained fresh-water supplies, designers and building owners turn to alternative sources. |
| 04/2008 | Energy Modeling For Sustainability [links to: continuingeducation.construction.com] Evolving software for modeling energy dynamics makes it easier for architects and engineers to design green buildings. |
| 01/2008 | The Case For Commissioning [links to: continuingeducation.construction.com] Long considered a requirement of high-performance building, two recent projects present new angles on commissioning. |
