Sustainable Building and Environment Engineering

Sustainable Building and Environment Engineering is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field that focuses on the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure in a manner that minimizes environmental impacts and promotes sustainability. This field integrates the principles of engineering, building physics, architecture, environmental science, and management to create a built environment that is high-performance, energy-efficient, resource-efficient, and healthy for its occupants. This concentration provides students with knowledge of the principles of building performance prediction, performance-based built environment design, and general building construction and maintenance. This concentration also provides the ability to identify and solve complex engineering problems related to building performance and sustainability. In addition, this concentration is also trained to develop innovative thinking related to sustainable technologies and practices in the built environment, including the use of intelligent systems, as well as the ability to communicate technical matters to various stakeholders. Fields of work relevant to this concentration include: Sustainable design consultant, Building manager, Green Building Engineer, Facilities manager, Acoustic engineer, lighting engineer/designer, HVAC engineer, Mechanical-electrical consultant, Smart building developer, etc.
