Programme content Program encompasses principles of sustainable design and sustainable architecture. Among the topics to be reviewed will be develop knowledge in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, regardless of climate, and with due regard to sustainability. Topics will be included issues of green building, biomimicry, low impact or reusing/recycled materials. The curriculum includes also question of sustainable energy conservation improvements in design of building systems like reuse and distribution of thermal energy, ventilation systems, daylight/lighting systems. Topic will also take into account environmental indicators and energy rating systems like LEED, BREEAM.
