INTRODUCTION
In this Circular Economy for Sustainable Built Environment training course, we will embark on an exciting journey to explore the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and the built environment. As our planet faces pressing environmental challenges, it is crucial that we shift our mindset and practices towards a circular economy—a system that aims to minimize waste, maximize resource efficiency, and promote long-term sustainability.
Throughout this Circular Economy for Sustainable Built Environment training course, we will delve into various processes, innovative ideas, and cutting-edge technologies that can contribute to the creation of a circular economy within the built environment. We will examine different aspects of sustainable construction, including design principles, material selection, energy efficiency, waste management, and life cycle assessment. By understanding and applying these concepts, participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to transform the traditional linear model of construction and embrace a circular approach that fosters environmental stewardship and economic viability.
Get ready to explore the possibilities of circular economy and discover how it can revolutionize the way we build and inhabit our environments. Through engaging lectures, case studies, interactive discussions, and hands-on exercises, this training course will equip you with the tools and insights needed to become a catalyst for change in the realm of sustainable built environment. Let's embark on this transformative journey together and shape a future where our built spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible and socially just.
This GLOMACS Circular Economy for Sustainable Built Environment training course will highlight:
- Principles of Circular Economy: Understand the core principles and concepts of circular economy and how they can be applied to the built environment to achieve sustainable outcomes.
