The aim of the Post Graduate Diploma in Science in the Decarbonisation of the Built Environment programme is to up-skill building professionals to develop knowledge and skills that allow them to plan, deliver and manage high quality, sustainable developments, with emphasis on decarbonising the built environment for medium to large sites, districts and community collectives. This will place the learners in a position to contribute to meeting Ireland’s climate action and energy targets in relation to the decarbonisation of the built environment.
Graduates will be employed as climate and decarbonisation experts and advisors within the engineering, construction, and decarbonisation industry.
