Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering MSc

The world is changing at a fast rate, and so are our buildings. Advances in digital tools for building performance analysis, and technological advances like the Internet of Things, provide unparalleled data and insights on how our buildings are designed and operated. As such we developed a programme that takes a forward-looking view on the impact of this digital transformation to the established discipline of Building Services Engineering, towards sustainable building design and operation

On this Master’s programme you’ll explore how digital engineering can lead to smarter buildings that are better for their occupants and the environment.

You’ll learn:

• the scientific principles underpinning the way buildings and their systems are designed and operated
• how building data are collected, processed and interpreted, including data analytics and applications of machine learning in buildings
• to take an integrated perspective of a building’s form, systems and users – a prerequisite for effective operation
• the factors affecting integrated building design in relation to sustainable operation

You’ll engage with industry experts to solve real-life problems, positioning yourself at the forefront of an emerging new discipline. And you’ll develop skills that are in short supply.
