Overview
The Built Environment Sustainability Assessment course from UPValenciaX introduces the basic elements and trends for performing a through built environment assessment and develops the tools for urban sustainability policy impact analysis.
This course is part of Interdisciplinary Sustainable Architecture Assessment Professional Certificate Program.
During the first week the dimensions for urban sustainability are introduced first through an analysis of the classics, later followed by a master lecture on climate change by Nobel prize winner Edward S. Rubin and ending with an interview of the late Nobel prize winner Sir Harold Kroto on Nanoscience.
The second week builds the connection with the tools available through science for making our cities sustainable. The first video develops the possibilities of Nanomaterials, followed by the key impact of Green Infrastructure on the city metabolism and ending with an analysis of the role of smart grids on energy distribution for the future cities.
