Smart Buildings in Smart Cities (Master)

The Master's program in Smart Buildings in Smart Cities is a part-time model that focuses on the interaction between technology and energy with nature, people, and the environment. The program lasts four semesters and covers topics such as renewable energies, energy systems, spatial planning, information technology, and neighbourhood renewal.
An innovative method involved in this curriculum is a simulation game in which students carry out the planning themselves based on a real project. Students learn how to prepare, implement, and evaluate various participation procedures. Questions relevant to practice, such as the redensification of developed inner areas, the removal of car parking spaces, and similar issues are dealt with in this module.
Climate change and its impact are simulated with the help of simulation software. Environmental influences such as the heat island effect, air flows, comfort & coziness, noise, and particulate matter are simulated in the city model.
