Course Overview

A shift towards zero carbon solutions for both new and existing buildings will be integral to the global strategy to deliver sustainable built environments. Immerse yourself in perspectives and practice in the decarbonisation of buildings with our highly-relevant Sustainable Buildings postgraduate degree.

Designed to build relevant professional knowledge, this focused course will enable you to explore industry-tested methods for modelling energy efficiency, designing low carbon retrofit solutions, undertaking performance gap analysis, evaluating and specifying smart solutions.

Guided by experienced academics and practitioners, and drawing on world-class research led by Salford using its Energy House laboratories, you will look at relevant and contemporary thinking and practice connected to the decarbonisation of buildings.

You will:

  • Discover how the built environment impacts upon its natural, social and economic environments and learn about energy systems in new and existing buildings

  • Apply methods to estimate and reduce both embodied and operational carbon contributions from the built environment

  • Access cutting-edge research facilities so you can develop practical skills for measuring, modelling, monitoring and evaluating the sustainability performance of buildings

  • Explore how smart solutions are installed in buildings, their functionally and advantages achieved, using innovative products
