Sustainable Energy and Building Technology

Who we are

Society faces the significant challenges of meeting the needs of a growing population while simultaneously seeking to decarbonize, adapt to climate change and manage resources in a more sustainable manner. Meeting these challenges means buildings, energy systems and infrastructure must evolve – yesterday’s solutions are being are being replaced by new approaches. Our program positions graduates with a portfolio of skills that are in high demand.

Our Sustainable Energy and Building Technology (SEBT) Program prepares graduates to examine, model and improve the energy and environmental performance of existing buildings; to support the design, construction and operation of new, sustainable buildings being built to increasingly stringent performance standards; to implement renewable energy technologies; and support new approaches to understanding and managing energy use and building resilience into campuses, neighbourhoods or whole cities. At one time we paid little attention to the cost, availability or environmental impact of energy use – today, these are issues of growing importance to every individual, business and government.

Our involvement in the Net Zero Churches Project

Humber students will support the Net Zero Churches Project with curriculum integrated Building Information Modelling (BIM), utility analysis, energy modelling and energy conservation measure recommendations.
