Our MSc Environmental Design of Buildings aims to develop knowledge and evidence-based expertise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, responding to climate, and with due regard to sustainability issues. Full-time, part-time and distance learning options (which are particularly suitable for professionals working in the field) of this course are offered.

This specializing master combines the teaching units of the specializing master "Project management in construction works" with the teaching units of the specializing master "BIM Manager". BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an increasingly important tool for the correct management of the design phase, construction sites, extraordinary maintenance works, etc., regardless of the size and complexity of the intervention in question. Knowing the digitization trends of the building sector and using them wisely, aiming at better performance and higher work quality, is becoming increasingly important for project managers in the civil and infrastructure sectors. For this reason, this specializing master will offer a greater number of teaching hours (if compared to each of the two specializing masters dedicated respectively to PM and BIM) distributed both in the first semester (November-March) and in the second semester (April-October), replacing the period of internship which is not required. Each student is going to write her / his master thesis that will be delivered to the Master School and defended in order to achieve the diploma by the Politecnico di Milano.

This master's degree places special emphasis on acquiring a global vision of BIM processes from the beginning, preparing the student to face any present and future challenge. This master's degree aims to present and explore step by step the potential of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, aimed at the projection and construction of buildings, from the initial design stages to the creation of construction models.

In Smart Buildings: Smart Buildings program Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT) professionals know the functional needs of hospitals, airports, smart cities or office buildings, in order to apply control patterns. integration, artificial intelligence, big data or IoT devices that increase their efficiency.

The Master in Energy Saving and Sustainability in Buildings is eminently practical and aimed at training experts in building energy and energy evaluation and sustainability in buildings. Trains students to obtain accreditation as an energy auditor, energy and environmental evaluator in LEED, BREEAM and GREEN certifications.

The Building Systems Technician program trains students to maintain and repair complex systems in commercial and institutional buildings, including energy-efficient boilers and HVAC systems. This in-demand career requires strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or in teams.

This programme offers graduates a broad skills base for the specialised profession of quantity surveying. The need for quantity surveyors is vital for the efficient cost management of construction projects. The evolving international economic climate means the role of the quantity surveyor is in high demand as both public and private clients are pursuing the agenda of obtaining a value for money and greater cost certainty in all construction activities.

This microcredential addresses the importance of using modern BIM/Lean/IPD manufacturing and construction principles to minimise waste from all aspects of project productivity. The course involves a critical review of standard approaches to onsite progress and productivity compared with the potential advantages of using BIM principles and processes integrated with Lean/IPD based practices, in the integration with off-site fabrication where appropriate and viable. The underlying focus of the subject ties all concepts back to information management, delivering minimum waste to the contractor and client.

Our Vision: to develop a world-class franchise model of professional education - a model that can be successfully replicated across nations to offer
