Explore how buildings perform and respond to changing environmental conditions, including temperatures, moisture levels, and airflows
Overview
Important dates
This specialisation takes a whole-building view, incorporating wider perspectives such as microclimate effects in urban environments, to understand how a building responds to its surroundings.
Topics include heat and moisture transfer, building and urban physics modelling, design optimisation, and the use of data-driven simulation methods.
This pathway is ideal if you are interested in combining building design with advanced environmental perspectives and digital modelling. The skills developed are highly relevant for careers in sustainable building design, building performance analysis and energy efficiency consultancy
