Sustainable Architecture Technology EEC.2Q

Sustainable Architecture Overview

Techniques of sustainable architecture is a creative program along with technical challenges. It is designed to prepare students to meet the requirements of the construction industry in general and to meet the growing need to adopt and develop strategies for development and design that are sustainable. This pioneering program is based on the needs of future employers and encourages students to become aware of the impact of their professional practice on the environment. The course leads to many careers as interesting as each other and offers various professional development opportunities in the following areas: architecture, engineering, property development, construction and many others.

Most governments are now concerned about issues of sustainable development and environmental awareness of individuals. This has led to responsible consumption and to alternative lifestyles. The buildings that make up our modern cities generate a high demand for energy and construction as they often cause a significant negative environmental impact. The philosophy and principles of design of the program of sustainable architecture techniques offered at Herzing College aims at changing the practice of architecture in order to move towards a new approach to architectural design and construction. Passive design issues, which focus on natural cycles and their relationship to the design process, and issues of recycling and use of green materials are at the heart of the program of sustainable architecture. Students will learn approaches to green construction technologies and renewable energy and will be trained to improve the energy performance of buildings.

Once completed, this program will lead to an Attestation of Collegial Studies (AEC), but more importantly, it will open the doors to a magnificent career in which skills and qualifications are in demand.
