Objectives
Objectives
It is intended that the student acquires knowledge regarding the impact of the construction sector on the environment during the different phases of its life cycle, providing them with basic tools and methodologies that allow the assessment of these impacts. Using the tools and concepts taught will allow the student to develop a critical thinking, which allows them to interpret and solve problems, making technical and strategic decisions, in the context of construction/rehabilitation actions of buildings and infrastructures in a perspective of "sustainable construction".
