As the programme is ‘nested’, please visit webpage for TU412 PG Cert BP(EED) for Stage 1 information, and webpage for TU413 PG Dipl BP(EED) for Stage 2 information. In Stage 3, the programme runs in the calendar year, not the academic, year. In Spring two (5-ECTS) modules take place, with online classes each Wednesday over the full Semester. The third (20-ECTS) thesis module is delivered through tutorials arranged with thesis supervisor at mutually agreed times. There are two feedback workshops to a wider cohort in the Autumn. A key aspect is that may students decide when they view lecture materials. Students should plan for a weekly commitment of ~10 hours in most weeks of each module.
Programme summary
Over the past five years the Dublin School of Architecture has developed a range of upskilling programmes in Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) for building design professionals. Achieving the NZEB standard will require a culture change at all levels in the building industry, from procurement, to design, construction, use and maintenance of the building over its life cycle.
