Amazing person and overall mentor/professional in the green building/sustainability world. If you're interested in the built environment/sustainable development, take this course. That being said, you should only take this course if that's where your interests are, for I can see how it could be very uninteresting to someone not interested in LEED

Brandon is one of the best professor I had in UCSB! He's caring, and his lecture is inspirational. I learned a lot! This course has an interesting project, it may takes you some time to complete but it's worth it.

This class was interesting and engaging. Prof Kaysen is very accessible to schedule office hours with and answered all my questions. The case study project was a lot of work but was rewarding to complete and gave me practical skills. Would recommend this class!

Brandon is a very nice guy, the workload is decent. Bring graded on a variety of tasks but they are fun to do. The final project gonna cost you some time -- especially for summer classes. But still, everything were reasonable in this class. Won't be too hard to get As.

(This class was taken virtually) Professor Kaysen was extremely accessible outside of class- he gave us his phone number to text and call him at. He really cared about the subject matter and wanted students to understand the importance. His lectures were just the right about of material. I highly recommend this course- I really learned a lot.
