Course content
An introduction to various concepts such as energy-efficient, sustainable and zero-emission buildings and built environments, and the challenges and strategies related to their design. The course provides a broad overview of the issue ranging from insight in the history of sustainable architecture to the most up-to-date concepts of zero-emission buildings and built environments. The course also provides an insight into the climate changes and as such the backdrop for the need to design sustainable buildings and cities with considerably less greenhouse gas emissions.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: environmental challenges and sustainable development of the built environment; green building concepts from solar houses to Zero Emission buildings; strategies for mitigating environmental impact of the built environment.
Skills: The students will learn to identify, understand and analyse terminology, principles and challenges related to sustainable architecture, more specifically energy-efficient and zero-emission buildings and built environment.
General competence: critical insights in green building concepts and sustainable development of the built environment.
