Aim of the course:
The aim of this workshop is to synthesize and assess the knowledge acquired by students from the six e-courses that make up the Sustainable Renovation and Decarbonisation of Residential Buildings micro-qualification study programme.
Target group:
Construction and architecture specialists.
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of the online components of all six e-courses that make up the Sustainable Renovation and Decarbonisation of Residential Buildings micro-qualification study programme:
• Sustainable urban transformation and climate change;
• Renovation of a typical residential building;
• Determination of the technical condition of a typical residential building and forecast of the period of use;
• Building Carbon Footprint – Theory;
• Building Carbon Footprint – Reporting;
• Practical digital twins for smart housing and decarbonization;
Topics:
The 2-day intensive, on-campus consolidation workshop will take place on either the TalTech or RTU campus as a physical, in-presence event. This capstone component of the Sustainable Renovation and Decarbonisation of Residential Buildings micro-qualification study programme focuses on collaborative problem-solving, hands-on practical applications and thematic discussions to synthesise and apply what has been learnt in all of the six e-courses.
The workshop is led by TalTech and RTU experts and it serves as the final, summative assessment component for the micro-qualification. At the end of the workshop, students take a written exam and are assessed on the knowledge they have acquired from the six e-courses and on their ability to synthesise and apply learning from across these in integrated, practice-oriented tasks.
Study results:
- synthesizes the knowledge acquired in the e-courses and applies it in solving real-life housing decarbonisation challenges;
- understands and communicates effectively on themes of climate change, sustainability, urban transformation, renovation, carbon footprint and digital twins in the context of housing.
- evaluates housing scenarios and develops appropriate sustainable urban transformation and renovation solutions.
