Lecture Materials

TerraLogos is frequently asked to give talks on sustainable design to various interest groups. Come back to this page periodically to check out our new presentations. We also participate in conferences and training sessions on green design. Below are two PDF documents of materials we have used in past presentations.

"Demystifying LEED" (640 KB) is an overview of the LEED Green Building Rating System and a discussion of its applicability for campus projects. It describes the benefits and process of working with LEED and includes some campus case studies as illustrations of certain LEED credit points.		"Making the Case for Green" (1.2 MB) is an introductory presentation. It sets the environmental context for human action and our buildings, then goes through basic concepts of sustainable design. This talk is appropriate for a wide range of interested groups. Contact us to set up a presentation for your organization.
Garrett Lecture on Urban Issues (7.9MB) is an introduction to sustainable development. It covers the problems of conventional development, ecological principles we can use to overcome development problems, a breakdown of some sustainable development strategies, and examples of sustainable development.		Elementary School Sustainable Design Charrette (6.8MB) is an introductory presentation specific to sustainable design in educational facilities. It includes an introduction to sustainable design principles, basic information on the LEED™ rating system, and details on design problems and sustainable solutions specific to educational facilities.
