可持续建筑管理技术文凭

可持续建筑管理技术（SCMT）计划是两年制文凭课程，其基础是Okanagan学院Penticton校园的卓越中心。SCMT是一项具有前瞻性的计划，旨在使新兴的建筑管理人员和技术人员获得能力，赋权并激励他们实现真正的可持续发展。即将毕业的学生将在加拿大和国际上的建筑业中发挥领导作用，交付具有较高可持续性表现并为社区的经济，环境和社会福祉做出贡献的项目。该计划将为学习者提供有效管理各种规模和复杂性的建筑项目所需的技术，业务和人际关系技巧，强调可持续设计原则。学生将学习构建从规划到完成的所有规模的基础设施项目所
The Sustainable Building Technology offers an accelerated two year or three year curriculum that provides students with the foundation needed to prepare, inspire, and mobilize the next generation of building technologists. This program covers the principles, concepts, and practices of project design to completion through whole systems thinking and multidisciplinary approaches which collectively enables students to deliver sustainably built environments that enhance human well-being. The program is organized through five core streams which were developed by the Sustainable Building Technology faculty and through consultation with industry representatives. These allow for specialized education within the field of sustainability and the built environment and include the Sustainability, Building Design, Building Science and Systems, Construction Management, and Service Course streams. Together, these courses provide our graduating students with the ability to pursue careers in the (re)design, management, and execution of existing and new building projects. Specifically, the program learning outcomes include: Communicate a fundamental understanding of construction concepts, practices and regulations for new and existing structures, Measure and assess the sustainability performance of construction projects including embodied and operational carbon, energy savings, and overall human experience, Perform effective communication with clients, contractors, building professionals, and municipal authorities through Integrated Project Delivery practices, Define, describe, and discuss major theories and concepts within the field of building science, Illustrate how to work independently and interdependently as part of multidisciplinary project teams, Apply a whole systems thinking approach to design and construction activities to enable greater project potential, and Effectively realize design intent in executing construction through a proficient understanding of constructability and hands-on construction experience.<br><br>Practical learning experiences are incorporated throughout the program through site visits, real project case studies, hands-on building opportunities, and capstone projects. These experiences enrich the program and bridge the gap between the academic courses and the practical skills required by the students upon graduation. During the summer term break between years 1 and 2, the students also have the opportunity to further their practical experience through participating in a paid co-op program.
