This course introduces sustainability as it applies to construction and the built environment in Australia. It explains what the word means beyond simple "green" marketing, traces where a building's environmental impact actually comes from across its whole life, surveys the main Australian tools and frameworks used to measure and rate sustainability performance, sets out the practical measures that make the biggest difference on real projects, and examines the commercial, regulatory and professional reasons for building more sustainably — including the growing legal risk of overstating environmental claims.
The course is written for building and construction practitioners of all kinds — builders, tradespeople, apprentices, site supervisors, designers, estimators and business owners — who want a solid, jurisdiction-aware introduction to sustainability that they can apply to their own work. No prior technical knowledge of environmental science is assumed.
