The degree aims to provide the students with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure a
sustainable future to both existing and new buildings. The main purpose of this degree is to
update traditional civil engineering skills with a particular focus on sustainable development.
To achieve this target, the degree will ensure the acquisition of scientific and technological
contents aimed to design, plan and manage solutions for territory and built environment under
the sustainability principles e.g.: lower energy demand and reduced natural sources
consumption in the buildings; passive design strategies and sustainable architecture;
recovery, recycle and reuse of building materials; extended lifetime of buildings; risk-free
return of materials to the natural cycle; sustainable use of the territory; reduced urban sprawl;
urban renewal and protection of natural areas and resources.
