Program Description
This is a unique course covering all major Sustainable building design aspects with orientation towards industry and standard practices. The energy efficient building designs, heat transfer mechanism, envelope optimization, energy simulation models, ECBC Code provisions are the key topics. In the context of advanced comfort systems for building occupancy, the learners are enlightened with concepts of thermal and visual comforts, acoustics design and indoor air quality. The course elevates the learners practical experience on energy efficiency, water efficiency and waste management for a sustainable building design and developments. The concepts on building life cycle assessment, green project management and Green rating and Certifications by IGBC/GRIHA are explained with industrial case studies and standard protocols. During the course, the instructional model is designed to ensure that the learner has opportunities to explore industry-based project statements and gain practical experience to field challenges.
Objective:
- To facilitate learners to understand sustainable building designs and its parameters such as energy and water efficiency, Comfort in buildings, and waste management.
- To expose the learners to shading systems, thermal and visual comfort.
- To impart fundamental knowledge on Life cycle assessment and Green ratings and certifications.

Lead Faculty
Dr S. Rajkumar, Head – Center of Excellence and Futuristic Department, L&T Construction
An Energy Engineer by profession, he has his Master in Energy Technology from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Trichy and his passion for thermal comfort in buildings made him pursue a Ph. D from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi.
Dr S. Rajkumar has been working in the field of energy-efficient buildings, energy audits, Energy optimization and system optimization of a building and thermal comfort analysis of AC and non- A/C buildings for the last 20 years. He is also actively involved in energy analysis of low-energy space conditioning strategies for buildings. He is proficient in using building simulation and analysis tools like Design builder, Trnsys17, Energyplus, LBNL Windows, LCA, RETScreen etc.
Previously he has worked with The Energy Research Institute (TERI) as a Research Scientist, he was involved in various energy consultancy for landmark projects. He has performed numerous parametric analyses for optimizing the performance of the buildings.
