Reasons to study Energy-Saving Technologies in Civil Engineering at UTA

Developing skills in designing environmentally friendly buildings

By studying this specialization, you will learn how to create buildings that consume less energy while still providing a high level of user comfort. Thanks to knowledge of passive and active systems, such as air recuperation or photovoltaic modules, you can design homes in line with the idea of sustainable development.

Preparation for working with advanced technologies

This specialization allows you to explore modern solutions such as thermography, energy certification, or buildings with active cooling support. Knowledge of lightweight aluminum enclosures or integrated PV modules opens the door to working in companies that introduce innovative building materials.

Response to labor market demand

The growing interest in energy-efficient and passive construction means that experts in this field have a wide range of employment opportunities. You can work both in design offices and in companies carrying out large-scale investments, such as shopping centers or residential complexes with low energy consumption.

Education aligned with EU trends and regulations

Thanks to this specialization, you will gain knowledge of building law and EU regulations concerning environmental protection and energy efficiency. The ability to prepare a building energy certificate or conduct an energy audit are concrete skills valued by investors and developers.

What career paths await you after graduation?

Employment prospects

Designing energy-efficient buildings

After completing your studies, you will be able to design buildings that minimize energy consumption while ensuring the user comfort. With knowledge of passive and active systems, you can create designs for homes and office buildings integrated with photovoltaic technology, which helps reduce energy bills.

Energy auditing of buildings

As a specialist in this field, you will be able to conduct energy audits of buildings, assessing their energy efficiency and identifying areas for improvement. You will use the knowledge gained to prepare energy performance certificates, which are mandatory in many countries, including Poland.

A construction project management

The studies will also prepare you for leadership roles, such as site manager or project manager. You will be responsible for overseeing the execution of construction projects, ensuring compliance with energy and environmental standards.

Implementation of construction projects in line with ecological standards

After graduating from this specialization, you will be prepared to carry out construction projects that meet various environmental and energy standards. You will work on the modernization of existing buildings or the construction of new facilities, compliant with ecological certifications.

The collaboration in multidisciplinary teams

After completing these studies, you will be able to work with engineers from other fields, such as surveyors, architects, or installation specialists. Your work may also involve coordinating activities related to the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings.

This program is perfect for you if:

You're interested in modern ecological solutions and would like to contribute to environmental protection

If you care about making a positive impact on the planet through your professional work, this specialization gives you proper tools to create energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. You will learn to design structures that reduce energy consumption and minimize carbon dioxide emissions, such as buildings integrated with photovoltaic systems that generate their own energy.

You would like to work in a rapidly growing and future-oriented industry

The construction industry, especially the energy-efficient building sector, is expanding rapidly, and the demand for specialists in this field is enormous. The knowledge you gain can be applied in design and construction companies, or institutions that certify the energy efficiency of buildings.

You enjoy challenges related to technology and innovation in construction

If you’re passionate about working with new technologies and want to be a part of the revolution in the construction industry, this specialization is proper for you. You will have the opportunity to work with modern materials and solutions such as lightweight aluminum cladding and ventilation systems with heat recovery.
