Program description - May 2025

Our one-year Environmental Building Sciences graduate certificate program provides you with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage indoor environmental conditions throughout the building life cycle, encompassing the identification, testing, and remediation of problems in the building environment.

You will study building sciences, sustainability, and energy management for building design and control, environmental legislation, air and water quality, assessment for communication of risk, hazardous materials assessment and abatement, sampling and testing methodologies, project management, CAD/BIM, and technical report writing.

This program is experiential in nature, incorporating exercises, case studies, and practical laboratories in building sciences. In the final term, you will participate in a major project to address a present-day building environmental issue, which will be developed in consultation with representatives from the environmental industry.
