Overview

The construction, operation and end of life treatment of buildings are often resource intensive. They require energy, electricity and water, while generating landfill waste, CO2 emissions and other pollution. With increasing awareness of dwindling global resources and the importance of sustainability issues, there is a growing demand for professionals capable of addressing and resolving environmental problems in the built environment.

Career prospects

Students on the Environmental Design of Buildings programme from Cardiff University frequently go back into their original profession with the advantage of having a new specialism in environmental and sustainable design. Following their completion of the course, some of our students with sufficient prior career experience have gained leading roles in their respective professions.

The programme has helped a large number of professionals to pursue a career in a broad range of sectors such as (but not limited to):

Practice of architecture or engineering, with specialism in environmental design

Consultancy (building environmental analysis and building performance evaluation)

Academia (teaching and/or research)

Policy (in the UK and abroad)

Accreditation

Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE)
