Course Overview

The Sustainable Construction Materials and Techniques certification course examines the definition of sustainability and focuses on its increasing prominence as well as its implications for engineering practice, especially in the built environment. The infrastructure industry is currently experiencing a huge boom. 

The Sustainable Construction Materials and Techniques certification will emphasize the effect on sustainable construction because of the high use of power generation such as steel, industrial fine and asphalt binder, cement, water, and other materials, the built environment has a major impact on the planet, and if left unchecked, buildings may become sources of waste, excess energy use, and even deforestation. 

Due to the widening gap between demand and supply for building materials, the Sustainable Construction Materials and Techniques training hold significant importance as well as the need for energy-efficient and cost-effective construction methods, it has also provided opportunities for innovative and unconventional resources to emerge. The secret to fostering sustainability is to incorporate it into the daily lives of people, industrialists, and teachers, who are the torchbearers for the cause. The training will be given according to the weekly structure of the program's syllabus.
