Green and Resilient Urban Environments
About This Course
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of sustainable urban development, focusing on advanced green building technologies, renewable energy transitions, and climate resilience strategies. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of super low-energy and net-zero buildings, innovations in sustainable construction materials, and energy-efficient building design.
The course delves into renewable energy integration, covering topics such as smart grids, energy imports, and urban energy transitions to support Singapore’s sustainability goals. Additionally, it addresses urban resilience, equipping participants with strategies to mitigate climate-related disruptions, and design sustainable coastal and marine urban areas.
What sets this course apart is its experiential, hands-on learning approach. Participants will engage with industry pioneers in guest speaker sessions, visit NTU’s Gaia Building (a net-zero model for sustainable architecture), and analyze real-world case studies on resilient urban development. These practical applications will empower professionals to design innovative, future-ready urban environments that balance sustainability, resilience, and efficiency.
