About This Certificate

Build healthier environments for all and transform your design practice.

You gain an understanding of the toxics present in common building materials and learn how they affect human and environmental health. You learn how to make more healthful choices and how to explain the importance of designing with non-toxic materials to clients and contractors. Each of these self-guided short courses can be completed in two weeks. The self-paced nature of these courses allows you to study on your own schedules.
