Course description: There are numerous frameworks for pursuing sustainable design in the built environment, as well as methods for reporting material transparency and decarbonization goals. This course will cover these frameworks and reporting methods through the lens of the Net Positive approach to business practices and sustainability, of which the water -energy nexus is a very important component. The course will explore how organizations can embed Net Positive principles into their carbon neutral programs by specifying commercial plumbing products that reduce both their water and carbon footprint and how they can use IoT data collection for transparency reporting and sustainable design.

Learning objectives:

• Examine the Net Positive approach to business practices and sustainable design.
• Assess the importance of sustainability reporting and materials disclosure, which are key Net Positive business practices.
• Describe how the water-energy nexus can help organizations achieve decarbonization goals and have a Net Positive impact on the world.
• Explore how organizations can embed a Net Positive approach into their carbon neutral programs by specifying commercial plumbing products that reduce both their water and carbon footprint and using IoT data collection for transparent reporting.
