Armstrong Ceiling & Wall Systems’ “Sustainable Ceiling Systems” is a new USGBC-approved course available online. To access “Sustainable Ceiling Systems,” visit www.usgbc.org/coursecatalog.

The new addition to the USGBC catalog of courses not only addresses the contribution of acoustical ceiling systems to energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and occupant productivity but also the application of those concepts on projects.

Participants will also learn how to evaluate green interior finishing products to assist their clients in their environmental efforts, and how ceiling systems can contribute to as many as 13 LEED credits.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to specify and apply different types of ceiling systems to maximize their impact on building design, energy efficiency and  sustainability.

Completion of the course qualifies for one continuing education hour toward the Green Building Certification Institute’s Credential Maintenance Program. The course is also approved as a continuing education unit by the American Institute of Architects and Interior Design Continuing Education Council.
