Energy and Environmental Performance of Buildings

Overview

You will build the knowledge and skills needed to assess, manage and simulate building energy and performance, and develop sustainable solutions using modelling and simulation. You’ll explore current and future energy and environmental issues, practices and policies and understand how to assess and manage the environmental and financial sustainability of building projects. 

With this well-rounded perspective you graduate with the ability to advise clients on different aspects of their project, from design and construction through to the on-going operation of a building.

Careers

In your career you need a combination of knowledge, skills, personal qualities and relevant experiences – and you’ll get all of this from your degree.

• Develop a critical understanding of the issues of building energy efficiency and environmental performance and their application to the lifecycle of a building (ideation, design, construction/retrofit, operation and decommissioning).

• Gain the knowledge and skills required to assess, manage and simulate building energy performance parameters to find optimal solutions for sustainability in buildings.
