Course content

The course is given every year. Important topics are: The value of Building information modelling (BIM) and Geography information system (GIS) for sustainable built environment development; Data management and Information flow; Regulations and standards related; sustainability assessment (LCA, LCC, SA) for built environment; Integrating BIM and building energy modelling; Integrating BIM and sustainability assessment for built environment (data preparing and quality, information format, information flow); BIM and GIS for sustainable development and management in district and city (transport, energy distribution, sewage system, etc.); Machine learning in the civil engineering.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The course will give an overview and understanding of sustainable built environment development with digital processes.

Skills: Plan, evaluate and manage the built environment within the digitalisation and sustainable perspective

General competence: The course will give knowledge on building information modelling (data capturing, processing, modelling), optimisation methods and data analytic to support the decision making in the planning, design, construction and management of the built environment.
