Sustainable Design with BIM equips participants with the skills necessary to integrate sustainable practices into the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries through advanced Building Information Modeling techniques. The course emphasizes hands-on learning and project-based approaches, allowing participants to engage in real-world scenarios that enhance their understanding of sustainable design principles and their application within BIM frameworks. By collaborating on projects, learners will develop innovative solutions that meet contemporary environmental challenges while also mastering the tools and technologies that drive efficiency and sustainability in building design.
Participants will explore a comprehensive syllabus that covers critical aspects of sustainable design, including energy modeling, material lifecycle assessment, and the integration of renewable energy systems. The course culminates in a final project where learners will apply their knowledge to create a sustainable design proposal using BIM, which they may have the opportunity to publish in Cademix Magazine. This program not only fosters technical proficiency but also encourages the development of a professional portfolio that showcases participants’ capabilities in sustainable design.
