Sustainable Buildings: Principles and Modeling

In contemporary building design, sustainability has emerged as a fundamental element. With the growing urgency of climate change and limited resources, the imperative to create buildings prioritizing minimal environmental impact and maximizing human comfort has also intensified. Sustainable building can make a crucial contribution in this regard. But what defines a sustainable building, and how can a building be designed sustainably? The course provides both theoretical and practical learning materials to address this question.

Participants will acquire general knowledge and skills in sustainable building and building performance simulations. They will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between various factors when designing or conducting evidence-based analyses of a building's sustainability.
