The Built Environment: Energy Demand Studies MRes programme covers many topics that are essential to understanding building energy demand, including building simulation techniques, measuring real building performance, the economics of energy demand and statistical techniques for macro-level analyses. The knowledge you will gain on this programme is applied through the MRes dissertation, a major piece of academic work which takes place throughout the year and provides the opportunity to work closely with an experienced staff member on an in-depth research topic. The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has a world leading reputation for its research and strong collaborations with industry and commerce. The School is one of four Royal Academy of Engineering Centres of Excellence in Sustainable Building Design, and one of the six most highly funded EPSRC-funded groups working on Built Environment topics. At the end of their MRes year a number of students progress to PhD study within the University and the opportunity exists for strong MRes candidates to join the London-Loughborough Centre for Doctoral Research in Energy Demand. Graduates have gone on to enjoy careers in a diverse range of organisations including Loughborough University, The University of Sheffield, De Montfort University, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), Willmot Dixon and Investec Asset Management.
