Course description

Discover the importance of the built environment in fighting the climate crisis and the role you can play in influencing change in this introductory course.

On this course, you will be introduced to the different approaches that can improve sustainability in the built environment across the globe.  By the end of the course, you will feel equipped to advocate for sustainable building design and delivery and be empowered to apply this knowledge in your own context.

You may already be working in the built environment and looking to upskill in the field of sustainability, or you may have knowledge of sustainability and want to apply this to the context of the built environment. If you have limited knowledge of both buildings and sustainability and want to learn more about sustainable design and delivery, this course will give you a solid introduction.
