Buildings having low environmental footprint are a social and economic imperative for India and other tropical regions that will see the high growth in the next few decades. Energy use largely determines the environmental footprint of a building over its life span. New research, environmental challenges, green buildings rating programs, and policy are making building energy performance an area of growth and career opportunities. Increasingly, a new cadre of professional is needed as part of building design and operations team to help achieve energy efficient and climate responsive buildings.

At CEPT University’s Master's in Building Energy Performance (M.Tech BEP) program, the students get an opportunity to:

• Learn building energy performance through scientific principles including heat and mass transfer, daylighting, thermal comfort and electro-mechanical systems.
• Work with state of art infrastructure to evaluate building energy performance and master the digital simulations.
• Embark upon complex technical problems and participate in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Influence the design and operation of energy-efficient buildings, while considering all building systems such as HVAC, Controls, Lighting, architecture, occupant health and comfort.

M.Tech BEP program has been recognized internationally through awards and student placements. The students get the benefit of our background in high quality research and practical experience with energy efficiency and net-zero energy buildings. CEPT University’s focus on design, operation and management of human habitat provides a supportive eco-system for learning about building energy performance. Our faculty members consist of academicians, industry experts, experienced practitioners and researchers who have a solution-oriented approach. They come from engineering, architecture,  physical science and social science background.  CEPT Uni have a world-class research facility that houses the latest equipment for testing and measuring thermal and luminous effects in buildings.
 

India and other tropical regions are experiencing an unprecedented economic growth and environmental concerns. Regulations, green building rating systems, and owners’ preferences have created a demand for building energy professionals. With a focus on warm climate, the graduates of this program are attractive candidates for job markets in India, South-east Asia, and the Middle east, and for research careers in Europe and North America. Our students have secured research internships in the USA and have been placed at high profile firms throughout India. They work in energy consulting firms, building design teams, with building owners and government agencies, taking a leading role for pursuing energy efficiency with a whole-building perspective.
