About
A 6-hour course designed to educate professionals on the importance of selecting a suitable site for the construction and operation of green buildings. Investors need to have a clear understanding of the requirements for constructing a green building before purchasing land. International green building certification systems (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, etc.) include mechanisms for penalties or recognition related to how the construction site is established—whether and how the biodiversity component and the ecological impact of construction in the area are considered, access to transportation, and other considerations regarding site management and sustainability.
It is essential to have a clear understanding of the implications of sustainable site selection and site management before starting project development or even before purchasing land. Internationally recognized green rating tools acknowledge those who select and develop construction sites, focusing on biodiversity value, environmental impact, availability of public transit, and other considerations for sustainable site management.

- Understand the opportunities and challenges related to sustainable site selection and management.
