Course Details
Climate change is happening now, and requires immediate action. Seven of the last ten years have been the hottest on record across the globe. Australia is experiencing more extreme weather more often: floods, droughts, bushfires and more floods. The need for a course is reinforced with every extreme event in Australia and the world.
The design of our buildings is one way we can act now that will reduce the acceleration of climate change, and adapt to a future climate. Buildings are built to last 50 years or more in most cases, so the need to create a net zero building is very important. Investment in this course is equivalent to less than 0.5% of a new home, and adopting the design principles and sustainability solutions outlined in this course is an opportunity for individuals to save thousands in bills over the lifetime of the dwelling, in addition to saving the planet!
This course is presented by The Australian Graduate School of Engineering (AGSE)
