Teaching tools for university and college educators to prepare the next generation of building professionals.
New Content!
Although learning the technical aspects of decarbonizing our built environment is critical, ensuring that decarbonization is equitable and just for all people is just as important. This deck explores the concepts of environmental racism, fence-line communities, inequities in climate disaster response, energy burden, and more. It also presents emerging solutions to these issues including policy changes, and equitable decarbonization initiatives.
What is the BDLA?
Users can access case studies, slide decks, videos, exercises, reading materials and other resources to seamlessly build decarbonization into their existing courses about sustainable buildings, or create a brand new course focused on this topic.
Why BDLA?
Building decarbonization is the single most important paradigm shift in construction since the introduction of LED lighting or the LEED rating system. Teaching is the key to unlocking this transformation.
