We are proud to announce that Isabel has successfully completed her Postgraduate Certificate in Building Performance (Energy Efficiency in Design) from Technological University Dublin. After a year of dedication, late nights, and countless weekends spent focused on this goal, she officially earned this distinguished qualification.
The course, completed in June, was a transformative journey offering opportunities for learning, reflection, and professional growth. The course was led by the reputable Joseph Little, with the guidance of expert lecturers such as Patrick Daly, Shane Fenton, Beñat Arregi, and Andrew Lundberg.
The curriculum covered several key topics, such as:
- The transition toward sustainability and decarbonisation of the built environment
- Building energy/carbon performance, assessment, and modelling
- Fabric thermal and moisture performance, assessment, and modelling
- Deep energy retrofit holistic strategies and solutions
A further focus was placed on advanced design and modelling techniques, including:
- Building Energy Modelling Using PHPP (Passive House Planning Package)
- Hygrothermal risk assessment
- Thermal Bridge Calculation
- Reflective Building Design Practitioner
- Decarbonising Building Design
- Net Zero Carbon Residential Design Project
These subjects equipped Isabel with a deeper understanding of energy-efficient design, including how to assess and model building performance, manage thermal risks, and achieve net-zero carbon goals.
