Opportunities to develop the attributes will vary from module to module, depending on the teaching, practise and assessments that feature within them.<\/p>\n

A complete list of modules that feature on your programme are listed below. Each module when selected will reveal what Graduate Attributes are present within your module studies and or assessment.<\/p>\n

The information will also highlight the credit weighting* and provide a brief description of what you will expect to study during the course of that module.<\/p>\n

*Credit weighting, this is what you are aiming to achieve. Each year of study amounts to 120 credits. Your programme will usually contain a mixture of 20, 40 and 60 credit modules. The \u2018weighting\u2019 of the module therefore reflects the amount of time, commitment and expectation of study. The higher the credits the greater the commitment.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Module Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Specifying Environmental Buildings (SEB) builds on the previous \u201cEnclosures in Environmental Building Design\u201d module.\u00a0 It explains the options for improving occupant comfort through the introduction of appropriate mechanical services while minimising carbon emissions, with reference to net zero carbon targets and climate change issues.\u00a0 This includes the potential of hybrid (passive and mechanical) services as well as renewable energy generation.\u00a0 The student will choose one other environmental topic for an in-depth investigation (such as energy storage, sustainable materials, sustainable water, indoor air quality, whole life carbon, circular economy, whole life costing, biodiversity, urban food provision, climate change adaptation and resilience).<\/p>\n

Skills Developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Analyse the mechanical service requirements of a building with reference to its use, form, fabric and setting.<\/li>\n
  • Propose strategies to achieve comfort (with reference to lighting, ventilation, cooling and\/or heating) within the building while minimising the power demand, energy consumption and carbon emissions.<\/li>\n
  • Assess the success of the strategies in relation to the objectives for comfort, the power load, the energy consumption and carbon emissions.<\/li>\n
  • Investigate the implications of environmental building design on holistic sustainability and climate change issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Module Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    This module introduces the concepts of sustainability. It considers the historic development of the 'green' movement and Climate Change as an important context for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

    It identifies different sustainability positions adopted today, both at a theoretical and practical level, and encourages students to question these as well as their own views. The module demands students to develop their own sustainability position in relation to a specific development scale (from individual buildings through communities to urban scale); while including the social and environmental considerations that underpin sustainability in the built environment (i.e. health and wellbeing, social justice, professional responsibility and ethics).<\/p>\n

    The module provides a structure for students to develop, discuss and formulate their personal sustainability standpoint and reflect on the role of their chosen future profession in delivering holistic sustainability.<\/p>\n

    Skills Developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Explain the complexities and interdependencies of sustainable development and the constraints involved in applying sustainability principles into practice at a chosen development scale.<\/li>\n
    • Formulate a justified position to illustrate what their chosen professional role can do to enhance holistic sustainability with relation to the built environment.<\/li>\n
    • Write a clear and accessible report to analyse the concept and the context of sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Module Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    A crucial concern in the design of the built environment is the need to minimise energy use whilst ensuring comfort and satisfaction of the users or occupants.<\/p>\n

    An overarching theme of the module is comfort; the built environment is created to provide acceptable thermal, visual and acoustic comfort for the occupants.\u00a0 Often this can lead to high energy requirements, and the role of the environmental designer is to optimise, producing the best environment for the least energy.<\/p>\n

    In order to aid this optimisation, this module aims to provide knowledge and understanding of the physical mechanisms through which the built environment uses energy in order to attain human comfort.\u00a0 It builds from concepts surrounding the flow of energy from the ambient environment, or climate, through the building envelope as passive filter, to active mechanical services.\u00a0 Approaches available to the designer to control or influence comfort and energy flows will be considered.<\/p>\n

    Skills Developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Explain advanced terminology and concepts related to building physics, passive and active energy systems and human comfort in the built environment.<\/li>\n
    • Use such concepts to propose solutions to complex problems in the design and performance of the built environment.<\/li>\n
    • Calculate the estimated energy requirement and thermal comfort of a simple building.<\/li>\n
    • Through analysis of those estimates propose and evaluate the efficacy of improvements to the design or specification of that building in order to improve its performance.<\/li>\n
    • Examine, using appropriate examples, the current best, or emerging, practice in an aspect of the design or specification of the built environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Module Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    This module focuses on the introduction of methods and techniques by which building designers, owners and operators can determine whether their building performs as anticipated. It aims to introduce measurement, and post occupancy evaluation.<\/p>\n

    Sustainable development of the built environment requires that building perform as expected.\u00a0 Experience has shown us that buildings that are uncomfortable, badly operated, or poorly maintained, will use far more resources than they were designed.<\/p>\n

    The module is based on the belief that evaluation, feedback and critique are vital components to the progress of design. Progress can only be achieved when this assessment is completed using credible and appropriate methods. The module aims to reinforce this message and introduce the student to a number of investigative and analytical methods and techniques, including simulation, measurement, and survey. It will consider both physical and human perspectives of the built environment and draw on methods appropriate to both academic and practice-based investigations.<\/p>\n

    Skills Developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Identify factors that contribute positively towards sustainable performance of buildings in use.<\/li>\n
    • Identify appropriate monitoring and research techniques to evaluate building and development performance in use.<\/li>\n
    • Explain how monitoring and investigations can be undertaken to help improve building performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Module Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Low carbon design requires a holistic approach to the energy use of a building. The designer needs to understand in principle how buildings use energy and to supplement this understanding with evidence on energy use from the field. He or she needs to be able to work with goals for building design, such as zero carbon standards, and with ways of off-setting energy consumption with renewable technologies.<\/p>\n

    The aims of the module are therefore to introduce;<\/p>\n

      \n
    • the ways buildings use energy<\/li>\n
    • methods of matching building energy demands through renewables and low energy systems<\/li>\n
    • techniques for assessing the energy footprint and sustainable performance of the building using benchmarking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Skills Developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Explain how buildings use energy, the demands and loads with buildings and the impact of occupancy on energy use.<\/li>\n
      • Explain use of renewable technologies and low energy cooling technologies within buildings.<\/li>\n
      • Show a basic knowledge of the concept of embodied energy.<\/li>\n
      • Show an understanding of assessment tools for sustainable design.<\/li>\n
      • Evaluate how well a building attains low carbon design.<\/li>\n
      • Assess the impact of the various building services options on a building design problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
