Understanding Recycled Content Surfacing Material

1 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD Hour (AIA Course Number: ICS06A);

1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals (GBCI Course ID: 0090003989);

& 0.1 IDCEC CEU for Interior Designers (IDCEC Course Number: 5974)

Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.

This one hour live course describes the importance of recycled content surfacing products and how they affect a building's indoor environmental quality. We will review how these materials are manufactured and specified and we will evaluate how they may contribute towards LEED project certification. After a comparison on traditional and recycled surfacing materials, we will discuss the importance of going beyond "green".
