Education

Education is a vital component in furthering the adoption of high performance buildings by enabling the next generation of designers and engineers. The IDEAL seeks to work with three primary stakeholders; building owners, designers and constructors, and operators. Promoting a holistic understanding of sustainability and occupant productivity and health will translate to the better use of buildings throughout their lifetimes.

As IDEAL grows, seminars, lectures, and training sessions will be become a central aspect of the laboratory. Topics ranging from the design principles of high performance buildings, analysis and simulation tools, to detailed design and operation techniques will be covered. Offerings will be in person with staff of the IDEAL on CU Boulder’s campus as well as online in live and archived videos. For upcoming education opportunities, please see our News & Events Page.
