Residential Building Science and Technology

Did you know that we can build houses today that use half the energy of a typical new house?


Such houses can also be healthier for the people who live in them. And, the materials used to build them can perform better and last longer with less environmental impact. In Residential Building Science and Technology, you can be at the forefront of the transition to highly efficient, highly durable, and more environmentally-compatible structures.

If you have an interest in architecture, new technology, and the building business and industry, the Residential Building Science & Technology program may be a perfect match for you. Every day building scientists find new ways and new materials to make buildings better. Program graduates have a range of career possibilities. You might work with builders in the field, in a research institute, with a product manufacturer, or as a consultant.
