Sustainable Building Methods: Design and Implementation

The aim of this unit is that Learners will demonstrate knowledge of the key principles of sustainability in construction, including environmental impact, resource efficiency, and social responsibility, and explain their relevance to modern building practices. Learners will assess different sustainable materials (e.g., recycled, locally sourced, low impact) and technologies (e.g., renewable energy systems, water conservation methods) and their effectiveness in reducing the environmental footprint of construction projects.


Learners will demonstrate the ability to incorporate sustainable design principles into the planning and design of construction projects, considering factors such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, and indoor environmental quality. Learners will show how to apply sustainable practices on-site, including waste management, energy-efficient construction techniques, and adherence to sustainability certifications (e.g., BREEAM, LEED), while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.


This unit will focus on understanding, evaluating, applying, and implementing sustainable building methods within the construction industry.
