Humans spend around 90 % of their time indoors. For our well-being, we need enough light and fresh air and the temperature should be comfortable. As a result, not only do residential buildings, offices and shops need enough space, but they also demand plenty of energy - these are two resources which are coming under close scrutiny when thinking about creating a sustainable future. This degree programme focuses on technology in the real estate sector which can be used to run buildings efficiently whilst also being user-friendly. More and more buildings with sustainable, user-friendly and highend technology are planned and built every year. Nevertheless, there is still a high number of buildings in existence which have a long lifespan and poor energy efficiency. This degree programme concentrates on action and strategies which can be implemented to improve existing infrastructures with regard to their use of resources and equip them with digital technology to create more user friendliness for all involved, whether that be owners, administrators or users.
