Gain knowledge and expertise to specialise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, appropriate to climate and with due regard to sustainable issues.
Many methods of construction are highly resource intensive. They require energy, electricity and water and generate landfill waste and CO2 emissions.
