Climate-Responsive Building Technologies

Become an expert for sustainable and resilient buildings

The private building sector is currently responsible for about 29% of the final energy demand in Austria, 43% of this energy comes from fossil fuels. In order to drive the expansion of local and district heating and achieve the goal of a climate-neutral Austria by 2040, it is necessary to construct energy-flexible and at the same time energy-saving buildings. And to meet the demand for skilled workers, a denser supply is needed.

Background

Subject to accreditation by AQ Austria, the master’s degree in climate-conscious building technology will start in the winter semester of 2024/25 and will be offered as a dual degree program. The application takes place exclusively at the FH Technikum Wien. The first semester starts in the first weeks at the FH Technikum Wien. Before and during this phase, the application process starts at the partner companies for the professional practice phases. The second half as well as the rest of the study program is then conducted alternately at the UAS Technikum Wien and the partner companies in order to establish a practical connection to the theory.

Career prospects

With their knowledge, graduates are perfectly trained for the sectors of energy production, energy management construction/building technology, heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, for energy agencies, environmental technology, or urban planning and urban energy concepts.

For example, you will work as a technical/scientific employee, supply engineer; system developer; energy engineer; developer; project manager; BIM manager, construction manager; facility manager; urban planner in energy management, research or construction and building technology.

Typical tasks include, among others, the development of building technology concepts in buildings and neighborhoods, handling of innovative building and neighborhood projects or the optimization of building technology systems in operation.
