GAS 2 - Climate Change Basics

Tuesday, April 24, 2007  ·  1:30 PM - 3:10 PM

This class offers a building science perspective on climate change. The same physics of psychrometrics, airflow, and heat exchange apply to weather, be it in a building or a planet. After developing environmental scenarios related to the changing climate, we'll discuss building products and practices that offer hope for a sustainable future.
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Explore meteorology from a building science perspective
  2. Debunk “green” myths, discuss real future needs
  3. Learn about practical solutions to tomorrows building problems
