Please drop by to see our graduating students' Capstone Project presentations on Wednesday, April 26 from 11 a.m. to approximately 4 p.m. in room T132 (North Campus - conference room in the residence building).
Our unique program prepares graduates to examine, model and improve the energy and environmental performance of existing buildings; support the design, construction and operation of new, sustainable buildings; implement renewable energy technologies; and support new approaches to understanding and managing energy use on campuses, in neighbourhoods or whole cities. At one time we paid little attention to the cost, availability and environmental impact of energy use – today, these are issues of growing importance to every individual, business and government.
