Germany EDP in Innovations in Sustainable Design and Technology

Course details

This programme sets out to provide a strategic platform for leading building professionals in the area of green building design and technology with focus on renewable energy sources. It aims for the participants and leading experts to discuss ideas and concepts which demonstrate the importance of an integrated interdisciplinary approach to using planning and simulation tools, energy efficient technologies and innovative building materials when realising buildings that provide a maximum level of comfort while demanding a minimum level of energy; expose participants to the smart grid and the passive house concept and the use of extremely efficient building envelopes to achieve ultra-low energy building design that have significantly low energy consuming structures, and equip participants with knowledge on solar cooling, sustainable construction, and self-sustaining eco-settlements and models which demonstrate concepts of sustainable communities.
