The design and construction of buildings which provide thermal comfort and have low operational energy is key to environment sustainability. We have lessons from our heritage and science of today to guide us. If you are seeking to enhance your knowledge and application skills in energy efficient building design, or learn how to design climate responsive buildings, then we have created an online course just for you!

The Eight-module course on 'Energy Efficient and Climate Responsive Building Envelope Design' has been curated specially for Professionals and Teachers from Architecture, Interiors and Engineering. This will be followed by further advanced courses.
