About the program
Sustainable and Energy Efficient Buildings Master’s program focuses on different stages of the building life cycle: conceptual design, design and analysis, modeling and forecasting of building energy consumption and microclimate, integration of renewable energy sources, and efficient building management and maintenance – smart building engineering systems, life cycle costs, building renovation, and modernization. A great emphasis is placed on the strategic goal of reducing the impact on the environment in the EU. Two modules are devoted to deepening knowledge in energy efficiency, which will cover passive solutions such as cost modeling, appropriate design, waste and secondary material recycling technologies, and active solutions such as energy generation, smart HVAC systems, and data science.
Studies are usually conducted in afternoons and evenings, although some activities happen during the day. Studies take one and a half year to complete and are worth 90 ECTS.
