Sustainable Architecture

Sustainable architecture is the practice of designing and construction buildings that aims to minimize negative environmental impact by focussing on green construction technology, renewable energy and improving a building’s energy performance.   Sustainable or green architecture is more popular than ever as a result of global pressure to find ways to minimize our environmental impact.

If you want to make a difference in the environmental impact of how buildings are designed, built and used, the Sustainable Architecture program at Herzing College’s Montreal campus will not only train you for a career in the construction industry but also how to adopt and develop strategies for designs and development that are sustainable.

• Applied mathematics for architecture
• Architectural drawing and model making techniques
• Design, construction and environmental sustainability
• About green buildings and energy management
• How to estimate projects
• Project Management
• The regulation of construction and building codes

Graduates of the Sustainable Architecture program are suited for employment a Drafting Technician, Appraiser or Assessor or Architectural Technologist.
