Description:
In this course we will look at the material selection decisions made as specifiers and members of the design community as well as the potential sustainable consequences resulting from these. Specifically, within the porcelain tile industry, we will explore four key areas of consideration: material composition, transportation, reuse/recycling, innovation. How they may contribute to LEED projects and the latest addition of tile product certification from ANSI. Finally a case study; which exemplifies the sustainable gains that can be made in manufacturing through collaboration and partnership with the design community.
Learning Objectives:
- Material selection: The potential sustainability/economic impacts
- Porcelain tile material composition:Content, chemicals of concern, certification
- Construction waste management of porcelain tile: Material reuse and recycling
- Porcelain tile transportation impact: Distance, mode, freight
- Innovation: New technology, future potential
