Smart and Sustainable Buildings


In contrast to Smart Cities program, which focus on city-scale systems, this interdisciplinary program focuses on Smart and Sustainable Buildings (SSBs) and their indoor environments. It covers topics that stem from the use of smart and responsive building materials and devices, intelligent automation (e.g., AI, IoT, etc.), innovative renewable energy applications, and efficient building systems. Students are introduced to communication, automation technology, and processes to control and connect SSB systems and occupants to the building environment. Students will be able to engage in the automation of building services and to design, integrate, and implement alternative smart digital solutions to the operation and management of SSBs, including AI-based and Cloud-based applications.
