'Building Performance Symposium  22' celebrates serious upskilling by building design professionals and provides new research & insights

TU Dublin, Bolton Street

WHY ATTENDTU Dublin is hosting Building Performance Symposium 22 on 11th May (a revised date) to celebrate five years of serious upskilling by building design professionals through the various parts of MSc in Building Performance (Energy Efficiency in Design). It is of direct relevance to (a) those considering upskilling in super-low energy building design skills and knowledge, (b) decision makers in architectural, engineering &amp; surveying practices considering how their offices can upskill and (c) those who wish to hear about new research and learn about the transition from nearly zero energy building (NZEB) to zero carbon building design. Attendees will:<ul><li>Learn about the content, delivery &amp; student cohort in each stage of the Masters (including CPDs and the Springboard+ funded PG Certificate BP(EED)). </li><li>Listen to RIAI Education Director Sandra Campbell talk about upskilling and RIAI Environmental Accreditation. </li><li>Listen to graduates of Years 1 and 2 presenting their personal learning journey through the programme and its relevance to their practice. </li><li>Graduates of Year 3 will present papers that address key issues of the appropriate retrofit of commercial and residential building stock. </li><li>Hear Ciaran Cuffe (MEP and town planner), who was recently appointed European Parliament's rapporteur on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), provide insights on the EU's next steps to decarbonise Europe's building stock by 2050.</li><li>contribute to a concluding roundtable discussion. </li><li>Be able to look at student posters, physically meet, see a selection of trade stands and come to wine reception afterwards.</li></ul>LOCATION, DELIVERY &amp; COSTThe event has a hybrid delivery, taking place on campus in the TU Dublin Bolton St Building and online. This delivery ensures those online can participate in a way that is more similar to being on campus, asking questions and hearing audience participation of those present in the lecture theatre. Nevertheless, we encourage on campus attendance to have the richest experience, meet delegates, view student posters, see the trade stands of sponsors and participate in the wine reception afterwards. The event is free. Please register on Eventbrite and select whether you are attending online or on campus. We encourage a donation of €10 for our selected charity, or €5 for students. Our selected charity is the Irish Architectural Benevolent Society (IABS) - a registered charity that provides assistance to those working in the architectural profession and their families who are suffering hardship and financial distress as a result of crisis, illness or death. PROGRAMME &amp; FEE SUBSIDYMSc in Building Performance (Energy Efficiency in Design) is a three-year programme with a ‘nested’ structure. This means that students can take a range of individual six-week long modules as <a href="https://www.tudublin.ie/explore/schools-and-disciplines/architecture-and-built-environment/architecture/study/professional-development/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CPD</a> certificates; undertake one year of upskilling to graduate with a <a href="https://www.tudublin.ie/study/postgraduate/courses/building-performance-energy-eff-in-design/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Postgraduate Certificate BP(EED)</a>; upskill over two years to graduate with a <a href="https://www.tudublin.ie/study/postgraduate/courses/building-performance-energy-eff-in-design2/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Postgraduate Diploma BP(EED)</a> or continue to Year 3 in a focused piece of research to graduate with the full <a href="https://www.tudublin.ie/study/postgraduate/courses/building-performance-energy-eff-in-design3/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MSc BP(EED)</a>. We promise that the skillsets of professionals who enrol will be transformed. The online delivery model is fundamental to the ability of busy building design professionals being able to upskill. TU Dublin provides a mature suite of online resources (website, social media platform, videoed lectures) and a flipped classroom pedagogy with plenty of feedback to support deep learning and significant flexibility. Postgraduate Certificate BP(EED) has received a 90% fee subsidy from Springboard+ for the last four years. We are confident this will be awarded again for academic year 2022-23. This means the full first year of upskilling, including access to structured learning, standards documents and software will cost students only €250.
