About

The energy-efficient management of buildings and neighborhoods is one of the key factors for a successful energy revolution. The continuing education masters program in Building Sustainability - Management Methods for Energy Efficiency equips you with specialist knowledge in this area, focusing on the implementation of sustainability in a variety of urban contexts. Students acquire professionally relevant and broad-based technical and business economics knowledge as well as an understanding of management in a program tailored to the requirements of the real estate sector. Examples of areas you address include building automation, energy efficiency and energy generation, real estate management, and intelligent buildings. You will additionally acquire skills in project and life-cycle management as well as an understanding of global perspectives concerning the different approaches to energy efficiency.

You are required to pay fees for this continuing education masters program. Details of current fees can be found on the website of the program.

The masters program teaches the skills and knowledge of sustainable and energy-efficient building management to engineers, architects, economists, and professionals working in research, universities, companies, planning offices, and public authorities. You acquire specialist knowledge in areas such as project management (including fundamentals of project management, modeling of construction data), and the energy efficiency of buildings (including the physics of building envelopes, hydraulic systems, energy generation, calculation methods for energy audits) and will also participate in an interdisciplinary project (using an existing construction project). You also examine the design and structures of buildings in the urban environment - modification for sustainability and energy management, innovation and technology management, and the integration of renewable energies. The masters program teaches a wide range of theories, methods, and skills to enable you to understand, take account of, adapt, and implement a range of solutions to achieve sustainability. These skills are essential for every construction or real estate project seeking to incorporate energy efficiency and other aspects of sustainability, as well as to achieve a good balance between economic, social, ecological, and cultural considerations.
