Energy & Technology Graduate Certificate
Faculty members here are also heavily involved in one of the Graduate Certificate Programs – Energy and Technology in Architecture. The intent of this certificate program is to provide students the opportunity to focus their elective studies in the area of energy and technology in architecture.  This is accomplished through courses and design studio(s) that are focused on building energy systems along with other building systems.  For more information on the ETA certificate program, click here.

Ph.D. in Design Program
The research group are among the key participants in the PhD in Design program at College of Design, especially in the area of sustainability. It is focused on research collaborations with the College of Engineering in advanced modeling systems for simulating the performance of built environments and in sustainable energy and material exchanges, ranging in scale from building components and subsystems to strategies for cities.
