Description

The master is made up of 391 hours of lessons divided between about 186 hours dedicated specifically to energy management and the remaining 205 hours dedicated to various disciplines related to the sustainability of buildings and infrastructures. There are no intermediate exams (during the lessons), while students will be asked to write a master's thesis at the end of the lessons. The students will dedicate about 400 working hours to it and it will be viewed and judged by the master's scientific commission. The final thesis will consist in the critical description of one or more concrete works in which the student is involved or has been involved in the past. With the aim of highlighting how the student has learned to use some of the tools that the master has made available in professional practice. Each student will be able to carry out the thesis independently.

Educational project

The Consorzio CISE is the headquarters of the GBC (Green Building Council) Italy, of which prof. Giuliano Dall'O' (Director of the Master) is President. This allows continuous comparison with realities in the construction sector attentive to minimizing the impact on the environment from their manufacturing activities. A report by the International Energy Agency and UN Environment has highlighted that about 39% of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere on a global scale are due to the construction industry. A very significant percentage that highlights the opportunity that the Construction industry today has to play a major role in the struggle to climate change. The course is focused on issues related to the environmental impact of the activity of construction of buildings and infrastructures, towards a conscious choice of technologies e solutions both in new buildings and infrastructures, and in the recovery of the building heritage e existing infrastructure. It addresses the integral process related to the activities of construction, from the design of highly efficient buildings and infrastructures energy, to development on site, with the use of IT tools for integrated design, BIM type, and energy analysis software, from design lighting technology, the design of the envelopes, the dynamic modeling software employed in the world of green building. Special attention is paid to use rationale of resources, the choice of building materials, the construction site, the management, the use of environmental impact assessment systems aimed at achievement of certifications of both regional (CENED) and international (LEED) value. The outlets jobs are foreseen in construction companies, producers of technologies for construction, engineering and architectural design studios, public administration. The Master will provide the basic training for enrollment in professional registers such as energy certifiers in Italy, in the specific case in Lombardy CENED*, and abroad, LEED AP or LEED Green Associate* GBC US.
