The University of Venda in South Africa in partnership with the Swiss Government is hosting Green Building Summer School 2020. This platform is for the trainers/academics and students who have an interest in renewable energy technologies and green building technologies, or researchers/company who wish to introduce this project in their research and technology innovation.

Aim of Program

The main motive of the summer school framework is on the sustainable principle which includes resource conservation, cost efficiency, design for human adaptation, capacity development as well as energy conservation.
The understanding of the climate condition of the area under study will be performed and the principle involving strategies and methods will be applied for the building enveloping projects. Furthermore, the program will allow design teams to have an appropriate balance between economic, social and environmental issues, changing the way construction practitioners think about the information they use when assessing building projects, thereby facilitating the sustainability of building industry.

This unique program combines theory and practice with hands-on experience and concludes with a collaborative project where participants work together to bring their learning into practice on Green building solutions.
