A module to explore sustainability in the built environment. How can land, building materials, resources and energy be employed to a community’s advantage but with low levels of long term, irreversible and environmental impact? The module looks for design ingenuity, sustainable building practices, lowering of energy and resource demand, but without necessarily any fall in building quality or enjoyment! Building regulations and safety must still be met ….. and how can we measure the sustainability and performance of a building?

Many of the subjects modules in years 1, 2 and 3 of the Renewable Energy undergraduate degree course are considered Co-requisite and usefully beneficial to this module (see towards the end of this document). Similarly module ENEM101 within the MSc postgraduate course is considered co-requisite.

Co-requisite module note: Many of the Renewable Energy year-1 to 3 undergrad, and term-1 MSc postgrad, modules are valuable co-requisite modules, but none are absolutely essential to allow a good student to successfully study the ENE3010 Sustainable Architecture module.
