Sustainable Buildings

Sustainability is a hugely important part in all areas of the built environment, in policy, in building regulations, in real world implementation, and for building occupants. We offer a Sustainable Buildings degree at the Leeds Beckett University.

It is essential that professionals in the built environment had the right skills and knowledge to be able to fully implement sustainable strategies into construction projects.
