Eco-Building Learning Modules

The Eco-Building Learning Modules are designed to provide students with a good knowledge of the specific subject that is tackled in that Module. Open-book testing is an effective way to bring attention to those key issues that need to be absorbed and retained by the student. Each module is presented in a practical format but is supported by academic research from the author. For maximum results certain Learning Modules can be paired/grouped in order to get a greater understanding of the issues relating to built environment sustainability in general.

Students will be credited for Modules that they have passed should they wish to continue on and study the Certificate in Eco-Building or even the Diploma in Eco-Building.
