This actually looks really cool, not only can you learn all about LEED certification, but you can telecommute and save some gas at the same time!

Dear Sustainability Enthusiast,

We are pleased to announce more courses in our comprehensive selection of ONLINE sustainable design COURSES, through the Boston Architectural College, starting next week. The BAC has been a pioneer, offering the first Online Sustainable Design Certificate Program in the US, in partnership with BuildingGreen, Inc., making education about green building available to anyone, at any place.

The courses start on September 2nd and end on October 25th. They are organized in 8 weekly units, and are all taught by expert green building professionals. The courses can be taken completely online, from any location with internet access, and they are designed to be highly participatory, with weekly assignments and instructor feedback.

All courses count for college credit, and 24 AIA HSW units. A number of our courses have been recognized by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Education Providers Program, as high quality educational offerings.

Courses can be taken individually, or may be applied toward completion of the Sustainable Design Certificate.

Please see below all our September offerings.

Without prerequisites, can be taken as introductory courses:

– Sustainable Design as a Way of Thinking

– Materials, Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality

– Green Practice: Energy and Air Quality

– Site Design, Landscaping and Site-Water Issues

With some prerequisites, more advanced courses:

This September, we are introducing a new detailed, 8-week, ONLINE course, designed to prepare those interested in taking the LEED accreditation exam:

– LEED Accreditation Exam Preparation

We are also excited to announce the launch of a new, Sustainable Planner’s track of courses:

– Sustainable Communities: Land Use, Transportation, and Planning

The online sustainable design courses start approximately every two months. The next course start date after September is October 27th.
