Course details
Global warming, the rapid depletion of natural resources and the escalating negative impact of keeping planet Earth running at full speed - these are the greatest threats which Mankind faces today. Now you can be part of the core group of professionals who are trying to create and design green and efficient buildings so as to minimise, if not eliminate, the negative impact of buildings on the environment.
You will be exposed to subjects such as Tropical Architecture for Sustainability, Principles of Passive Design and Sustainable Design that provide the fundamentals in good green building practices and engineering designs. Other subjects such as GreenBuilding Modelling & Simulation and Building Information Modelling (BIM) will equip you with knowledge and skills in the software commonly used in the green building industry. Furthermore, the unique blend of speciality and holistic training offered by this diploma will ensure that you get a competitive edge in the workforce upon graduation.
The Building & Construction Authority (BCA) is targeting for at least 80% of all buildings in Singapore to achieve the BCA Green Mark Certified rating by 2030. This gives you an idea of the tremendous amount of retrofitting needed in both new and existing buildings, so the demand for qualified green professionals will continue to remain extremely high over the next few decades.
