Community Forum
Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 9:00am - 12:00pm

The first of four sustainability workshops held by the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership will cover the introduction to sustainability.  This workshop provides an introduction to the concepts of sustainability and how it relates to industry, business, and everyday life.  Attendees will become familiar with the concepts of sustainability as they apply to six major areas: energy, water, waste management, including recycling, building design, including an introduction to Leadership in Energy and Environmental  Design (LEED), transportation, and agriculture and land use. The intent of this first session is to introduce the main concepts in each of these areas, prior to a more in-depth discussion of these areas in sessions 2 and 3. The instructor will also set the stage for a discussion of Life Cycle Costing Analysis, which will be covered in session 4.

The second of the four sessions will go into  greater detail on the issues of energy, water and waste, and show how their management, or lack thereof, determines the extent  to which activities, projects, or processes are sustainable.   In this session, and the first session, the topic of climate change and its causes will serve as a backdrop and motivation for much of sustainable development.
