Overview
Key facts
Global warming, air pollution, energy shortages and other major challenges are closely related to energy supply and demand in cities. The low-carbon transformation of cities is one of the key elements to solve these problems.
The basic unit of low-carbon cities is the low-carbon sustainable building. As buildings account for 39% of global greenhouse gas emissions, reducing building carbon emissions is critical to achieving the Paris climate goals and global carbon neutrality.
High-performance buildings, solar buildings, and smart buildings are important methods to achieve low-carbon buildings. In the process of continuous urbanization, the low-carbon transformation of urban infrastructure will significantly affect the city's carbon emissions, as well as the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality implementation progress. Shanghai Jiao Tong University offers the Low-carbon Buildings and Cities programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Understand the basic theories and main methods involved in low-carbon buildings and cities, recognize the necessity of low-carbon transformation of the construction industry, and enhance professional knowledge and enthusiasm.
- Understand the mainstream technologies and methods of low-carbon buildings and cities, and be able to analyze the low-carbon technologies required by different building forms by using the materials inside and outside the classroom, and improve the comprehensive analysis ability.
- Establish a reliable and relatively complete theoretical and technical framework to analyze the low-carbon performance of buildings and judge the development direction of future buildings, with own analytical ability and correct value level.
