Learning unit contents

SM part: the course was created to give students a vision of the impacts that buildings can have on their immediate environment (interior or exterior) which goes beyond the energy consumption, approximated in other courses. It revolves around a global vision of sustainable building benchmarks, insulation materials, airtightness, management of the construction phase, maintenance and waste management, and of water management.
