可持续设计研究生证书

该多学科计划为学生提供了必要的工具，以了解和量化建筑物和景观中的能源使用来源。研究强调，应考虑到建筑环境的性能，减少其体现和运营的能源以及其他资源问题的影响，在自然和人造系统方面改善可持续性设计选择。<br> <br> <br>可持续性是我们的当务之急。随着气候变化，人口增长和石油供应减少，这一切都提醒我们，我们的资源是有限的，我们需要一种新的范式来适应这些全球变化。建筑环境代表了我们大部分的能源使用，设计可以帮助减少建筑物和城市景观的体现能源和运营能源。
This multidisciplinary program provides students with the tools necessary to understand and quantify the sources of energy use in buildings and landscapes. Studies emphasize improving sustainable design choices regarding natural and man-made systems considering the performance of the built environment, the reduction of its embodied and operational energies, and the influence of other resource issues. Sustainability is an imperative for our planet as climate change, population growth and dwindling oil supplies are all reminders that our resources are finite and we need a new paradigm to adjust to these global changes. The built environment represents the majority of our energy use and design can help reduce both the embodied and operational energy of our buildings and urban landscape.
