About the course

It’s imperative. Reducing building energy consumption through adaptation and design has become a basic criterion of architectural practice. Available tools are making real-time energy modeling and analysis a seamless part of the design process. The aim of this program is to go even further—to deepen architects’ knowledge about basic principles and best practices and to hone their skills at the frontiers of research where truly innovative energy conservation strategies are being forged.

　　The Master of Science (M.S.) with a major in Architecture and a concentration in High Performance Buildings is focused around the use of building physics and building technology for sustainable architectural design. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of the energy performance and environmental impacts of buildings, as well as on the integration of these metrics in the development of innovative architecture. The program is founded on a first-principles approach to building physics, envelope design, modeling and analysis, life-cycle assessment, applied simulation, AEC Integration, and critical ecological thinking.
