Master Green BIM e Architectural Engineering

Generale didactic informations

Educational Objectives
The master proposes a theoretical-practical educational path that aims to train professionals in the building construction sector capable of operating in architectural engineering according to advanced methodologies, in compliance with the sustainability of both new design and renovation interventions. existing assets, in particular from the point of view of technology and energy efficiency. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary and interoperable approach will be followed with the use of processes and applications in a digital environment of organized and shared data collection: the proposed BIM methodology is in accordance with the recent legal provisions which establish the methods and times of progressive mandatory introduction of electronic modeling methods and tools for construction and infrastructure (Ministerial Decree No. 560 of 2017; Procurement Code - Legislative Decree 50/2016; UNI 11337). Green BIM in today's panorama is prefigured as a methodology aimed at minimizing the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the building (LCA - Life Cycle Assessment), and as an integrated design process for the evaluation of energy performance and sustainability of the intervention (CAM - DM 26/06/2015 Adaptation of national guidelines for the energy certification of buildings; LEED protocol - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, world standard for eco-compatible buildings; ITACA protocol - Institute for Innovation and Transparency of Procurement and Environmental Compatibility; national guidelines GBC - Green Building Council).

Expected learning outcomes
In addition to knowledge in the BIM environment, the Master provides those aimed at the sustainability of the building intervention to obtain a lower environmental impact of the building in the logic of the LCA - Life Cycle Assessment.
At the end of the training course, the master's student will be able to manage a complex BIM model in all disciplines (ARC, STR, MEP) and will acquire specific skills in Information Technology in order to enhance and enhance performance energy of the elements and of the entire building.
In terms of the LEED protocol, the student's ability to add or modify the elements of the model during the design phase will allow for the establishment of a virtuous circular process of simulation and deduction of the results, thus reaching the optimal score. Furthermore, they will be able to verify how performing the building can be, not only in relation to the technical choices (management of solar radiation and/or internal lighting, management of natural and/or mechanical ventilation,  etc)  but also with respect to cost/quality through a process of dynamic and interactive management of data and design parameters.
Educational calendar
The duration of the Master is one year from February 2023 to January 2024.
The organization of teaching is mainly concentrated in two afternoons a week from February to October, on Thursday and Friday from 14.30 to 19.30, mostly carried out in online mode, i.e. accessible remotely in synchronous mode. For each lesson, adequate learning support material will be provided in addition to the recording of the lesson itself.
The last months, November, December and January, are dedicated to the elaboration of the final thesis and to the completion of the internship activities.
The internship is mandatory and can be chosen on the proposal of the student or on the indication of the Director of the Master on the basis of a series of agreements made through the Jobsoul Sapienza platform.
In any case, the internship includes a reference tutor and the performance of an activity related to one of the topics of the master's degree.
All face-to-face activities, seminars and workshops will be organized on the basis of a program defined at the beginning of the master's course in order to allow for appropriate management of any work activities of the master's participants.
Absences equal to 25% of the total number of hours are allowed.

Job potential
The demand for qualified personnel in the civil engineering and architecture sectors with building sustainability skills in the BIM environment is growing exponentially.
The Decree of the Mims 2 August 2021, n. 312 containing amendments to the decree of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport 1 December 2017, n. 560 establishes the methods and times for the progressive introduction of electronic modeling methods and tools for construction and infrastructure.
In particular, the criteria are defined for obtaining "reward scores" in the context of awarding the offer, for the use of specific electronic methods and tools. Between these:

• methodological proposals aimed at allowing an effective analysis of the study of improvements and risk mitigation;
• provision of digital methods for the traceability of materials and supplies and for the traceability of production and assembly processes, also for the purpose of controlling the costs of the life cycle of the work;
• proposals aimed at using electronic methods and tools to achieve environmental sustainability objectives also through the principles of green public procurement;
• prediction of digital models that allow to verify the progress of the design and works and/or that allow the performance of the asset to be kept under constant control, including the monitoring and sensor systems.
