Purpose

The Applied Green Building SLP is designed to train construction industry professionals to perform as green professionals who could lead the transformation of the construction industry through green building practices to ensure the future wellbeing of our Planet.  This unique course combines theory and practice. The aim of this course is to enable the student to evaluate, prepare and apply green building design strategies, techniques, and methods to green building attributes in furtherance of green building design and construction activities.  It will enable participants to explore issues related to the built environment and sustainability and allow students to become familiar with a variety of practical techniques to address such issues in the design and making of buildings, environments, and landscapes.  By the end of this course, students should be able to incorporate these ideas into further study and eventually into their practice of building science, architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture and related disciplines.


Career Opportunities

The SLP provides a unique opportunity for professionals and students alike to strengthen their knowledge and gain a career advantage in the field of sustainability – an area of increasing global significance.
