It could be more descriptive about the zero net energy but overall the session is very informative. The course should explore more about the energy efficiency and the rating of the material also which included in the zero net energy factor.

From the start, the course captivated me with its engaging and well-organized content. The instructors did an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible pieces. As someone who is passionate about sustainability but new to green building, I found the explanations clear and relatable. The sections on energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and sustainable site development were particularly enlightening. What I loved most were the real-world examples and case studies. Seeing how these principles are applied in actual projects made the concepts come alive. It was inspiring to see how green building practices can make a tangible difference in both new constructions and renovations. The pacing of the course was just right, allowing me to absorb the information without feeling rushed. Being available for free on YouTube is a huge plus. It makes this valuable information accessible to anyone, anywhere. I highly recommend the "Green Building and LEED for Homes" course by Stanford University. It's an excellent resource that has deepened my understanding of sustainable building practices and motivated me to implement these ideas in my own projects.

I want to say thank you for this course. Green building technology is interesting knowledge that needs a deep understanding of the techniques and methodologies to apply to our building. I have a good introduction concept with an interesting explanation of the techniques for green buildings and minimizing energy.
Dominggus Ferdinan

Really great concept and easy to execute it. However it is quite difficult to convey this concept to some of old minded people that reluctant to a change, especially change in paradigm.
Md.Inamul Azhar

It was a good disclosure of things.the thing is clearly explained about the houses and how to protect tbem.I am really greatful about the course.Thank you for your assistance.
