Content

The sustainable green building is in the foreground - inside and outside!
Facade greening, green roofs and interior greening are to be learned in detail. Construction methods, constructions, use of materials, guidelines and recommendations, cost estimation and specifications will be taught theoretically and applied. Theoretical approaches to the subject of building greening will be worked out together and tried out on the basis of a concrete planning object. A planning object will be worked out starting from the idea, concept and design phase up to detail and implementation planning including preparation of specifications and cost estimation.

Following SDGs are adressed: 11, 13, 14, 15.

Excursions to completed green building projects complement the know-how to be built up in this area.
