M.Des Sustainable Design

Significant social, economic, and environmental changes are causing a growing demand for high-performance and sustainable buildings. Due to advancements in science and technology, such buildings are ever more diverse in function and shape as well as more energy-efficient and responsive to occupants' needs. Students in the graduate program Master of Design in Sustainable Design (M.Des. S.D.) learn how to apply scientific methods and state-of-the-art technologies in order to address the multi-faceted challenges posed by high- performance and sustainable buildings.

This program aims to build the capacity of the building professionals towards exceeding the performance-based requirements of building design and operation to reduce their environmental impact while increasing their economic profitability. It also aims to enhance their computational, evidence-based, and collaborative integrated design skills to produce the next generation of building professionals who can target the optimum sustainable building design solution.
