In this unit of study students will explore the concept of sustainability from a technological perspective. The unit of study builds upon the current technical knowledge and evidence-based design in the field of sustainability. Students will learn how to assess sustainability through a series of indicators such as indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and embodied emissions. Sustainable techniques and technologies will be explored and assessed to challenge current concepts and practices. The overarching aim of the unit of study is to equip students with relevant knowledge and skill to propose coherent and robust design solutions that consider enviromental impacts and sustainable strategies.
