Content
This course is developed in 4 main parts (in addition to the introduction), with the notion of environmental impact acting as a common thread throughout the course sessions:
0. Introduction: context and issues in the construction sector
1. Environmental impact: selection tools, life cycle concepts and assessment tools (TOTEM, RPT, GRO, etc.)
2. Existing built stock: designing with what already exists, characterisation and intervention strategies
3. Out Flows: Reducing and recovering waste as a resource
4. In Flows: Making ‘conscious’ design and construction choices that use fewer resources, and reduce the impact of production.
A site visit and a number of presentations by professionals are also planned to illustrate and contextualise the topics covered.
