Simply put, this CEU helps designers specify the appropriate materials and recognize how those choices relate to sustaining natural global resources.

Learning Objectives

• The first objective is to understand the primary factors of specifying materials for public furniture.
• The second learning objective is to learn key differences in materials. Why these materials matter, what makes them unique, and the ability to make better design choices as it relates to their sustainable characteristics.
• The third learning objective will be to remind & reinforce the qualities of aesthetic and beauty as they relate to sustainable materials used in public furniture.
• The fourth learning objective will be to learn further considerations of the lifecycle, recycling, & upcycling of sustainable materials used in public furniture.
