This program takes an interdisciplinary approach, giving students a broad understanding of energy and sustainability issues, along with an in-depth study of building physics and the modelling software used in designing modern buildings and their surroundings.
Computer modelling techniques allow students to simulate the complex interactions between buildings and their environment, both for individual buildings and on a larger urban scale. The program is modular, combining taught lessons with practical components, where students develop skills in using these techniques
