Through a review of partition materials, this course will first introduce the varied options available for restrooms, locker rooms and other applications. We examine HDPE, it’s physical attributes, composition, design options and sustainable contributions to the design and construction of any project including the incorporation of recycled content, indoor air quality and life cycle assessment. This course will explore the manufacture of HDPE partitions, as responsible manufacturing is an important part of any product’s life cycle assessment. Learn how making good decisions through specification can contribute to both the improvement of our environment and your client’s next project. We will conclude this course with a brief Q&A session.
- 1. Define and describe the material characteristics of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- 2. Describe how HDPE recycled content reduces environmental impact
- 3. List several ways HDPE materials offer both initial and long term improvements to the indoor air quality of any project
- 4. Explain how responsible manufacturing is a critical part of any product’s life cycle assessment and give several examples of these environmental improvements over traditional manufacturing processes
