Sustainable engineering concerns the design or operation of systems with the aim of reducing energy demand and carbon emissions with the goal of minimising the impact on the environment. The built environment accounts for the majority of carbon emissions in the western world with up to 50% of all emissions coming from buildings in the form of heating, cooling and lighting. By transforming the built environment to be more sustainable, the built environment can play a major role in reducing the threat of climate change.

This module discusses the interdependency between changes required across all activities of human life across all scales with a focus on sustainability across the built environment.

Pre-requisite - ECM2205 Safety and Sustainable Development or equivalent
