Description

The course titled “Climate-resilient, energy secure and heathy built environments (CREST)” is being realized through the Going Global Partnerships Collaborative Grant offered by the British Council. CREST responds to an urgent need to train the next generation of architects and engineers in meeting the triple-challenge of a climate resilient, energy secure and healthy built environment. These designers will oversee a doubling of current global built floor space in the Global South alone during their professional lifetimes; locking in carbon, energy and indoor-health footprints for up to 6 decades, thus affecting millions of lives. We are leveraging joint UK-India expertise via Newton and UKIERI research funding to address these challenges across three scales of design: novel building materials, climate extreme resilient building design and sustainable neighbourhoods. CREST is being jointly developed by 7 institutes from India (IIT Roorkee, IIT Madras, MANIT Bhopal, SPA Delhi, SPA Bhopal, SPA Vijayawada and School of Architecture and Planning – SAP, Anna University, Chennai) and the University of Bath from UK. The following are the details of faculty members developing the course.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This flexible course module is designed to enhance UG/PG courses of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Planning and Mechanical Engineering. It will impart practical experience and provide capacity building to practicing professionals of design, construction and engineering discipline.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT

As a part of the course development we have partnered with the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) who have shown their willingness to use this course to train administrative officials and engineers associated with 30 smart cities.
