Course summary

By developing expertise in the design and specification of comfortable, healthy environments in and around buildings, you can make a valuable contribution to addressing climate emergency issues and to the future of sustainable built environments. The construction, operation and end of life treatment of buildings is often resource intensive. They require energy, electricity and water, while generating landfill waste, CO2 emissions and other pollution. With increasing awareness of dwindling global resources and the importance of sustainability issues, there is a growing demand for professionals capable of addressing and resolving environmental problems in the built environment. Our MSc Environmental Design of Buildings aims to develop knowledge and evidence based expertise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, responding to climate, and with due regard to sustainability issues. Full time, part-time and distance learning options (which are particularly suitable for professionals working in the field) of this course are offered.
