Introduction
Aims and Objectives
The Master of Science (Building Performance and Sustainability) programme is a multi-disciplinary educational programme. The aim of the programme is to offer graduates of different disciplines who are engaged in the design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of building systems and services an opportunity to acquire knowledge and practice in the broad field of Building Performance and Sustainability.
This knowledge is vital for those engaged in such activities in the 21st century that confronts mankind with irreversible effects of climate change and potentially adverse consequences now and in the future. This global phenomenon necessitates a paradigm shift towards creating buildings that are not only comfortable and healthy for the occupants but are also sustainable. Whilst the Master of Science (Building Performance and Sustainability) programme is firmly embedded with the challenges and issues in the building sector faced in the rapidly developing urbanization of cities in the tropical belt of the world that has the potential to impact in excess of 2 billion people; it also addresses similar fundamental issues related to other climates and cultures elsewhere in The world.
