Key Summary

    About : The Specialized Master in Positive Energy Building focuses on the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings. This program equips students with the skills needed to create sustainable, low-energy structures that meet modern standards. It emphasizes practical applications, advanced technologies, and current regulations within the architectural sector. Students will engage in hands-on projects, fostering a deep understanding of energy-efficient practices.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in various fields, including architecture, construction management, sustainability consulting, and urban planning. They may work with design firms, governmental agencies, or nonprofit organizations dedicated to sustainable development. The program also prepares students for roles in energy consultancy and project management within the construction industry.

In connection with international global issues and the action plans that accompany them, for example at the French level the Climate and Resilience laws, Energy Climate and the energy transition for green growth, the Low-Carbon Strategy, the High Council for Climate, this training aims to train expert engineers in energy eco-efficiency of buildings with the keys and methodologies necessary to develop sustainable, intelligent and eco-efficient buildings, and improve the energy efficiency of existing ones.

This Specialized Master reflects IMT Nord Europe 's commitment to excellence in the field of energy sustainability and sustainable construction and offers students:

  • Infrastructure and conditions conducive to experimentation and research,
  • Project-based teaching to apply theoretical knowledge on real projects
  • A teaching staff, with great expertise in the energy sustainability industry, monitors trends and innovations in the sector
  • Professional support when looking for an internship as part of the end-of-studies project
