Master of Technology in Building Energy Performance

Faculty of Technology – CEPT University

Buildings with low energy use are a social and economic imperative for India and other tropical regions that will see the largest growth in the next two decades. Energy use largely determines the environmental footprint of a building over its lifespan. Research, policy, and practice are making building energy performance an area of intellectual and professional growth. Increasingly, a new kind of professional is needed in the building design or operations team to help save energy.

Within the M.Tech. program in Building Energy Performance students learn to:

Use state of the art tools to conduct simulations and assess building energy performance. Tackle complex technical problems and participate in a multidisciplinary environment. Influence the design of energy-efficient buildings, while considering all building systems, architecture, and occupant health and comfort. ... [-]
