Two students from the Department of the Built Environment at SETU have received sponsorship of €500 each from The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) RoI Region for a master level summer program in Vienna.
The two students, Patrick Browne and Danny Murphy, have both just completed year 4 of the BEng (Hons) in Sustainable Energy Engineering, both are also student members of CIBSE.
The summer university programme, Green Building Solutions, in Vienna, offers knowledge from Austrian experts in architecture, structural engineering, ecology and sustainability. Around 40 students from all over the world will take part in this year’s programme. Interdisciplinary knowledge and an exploration of Green Building and Passivhaus technology will be given in multidisciplinary lectures and workshops. The programe is structured that they will have one week of design lessons, one week of practical workshops and site visits and one week of working on a design proposal, so a great experience should be had by all.
