Title: Exterior Environmental Management
Course: GFM 103 Exterior Environmental Management > Section: GFM 103 Exterior Environmental Management

“With broad meaning buzz-words like “sustainability”, “low impact development” (LID), “LEED” (leadership in energy and environmental design)… Where do I get a real handle on EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT and its terms/definitions???

This discussion question is meant to stimulate your idea of how “Exterior Environmental Management” should begin to “look”, or how it should sustain your facilities’ grounds. If you have previously completed GFM101 – Introduction to Green Facilities, you should start to see the significance of energy in green facilities management and areas of study in sustainable exterior environmental management.

Thus, please answer this question with regards to a sustainable exterior topic (every facility has some form of exterior issue… Some more sustainable than others). Throughout this introductory unit, please log into the discussion board, review the answers of your classmates and respond to at least one of the discussion answers with further comments or questions. If you do not respond to one of your peer’s questions, you will lose __ points.
