Academic Development as a Vehicle to Deliver Sustainability Education

Humanity is currently experiencing a rapid decline in its environmental and social systems. Disciplines of the built environment contribute to this decline as they have a major impact on the environment through site modification and consumption of natural resources across all aspect of a building’s lifecycle. Sustainable buildings and the ’intelligent building’ are required if we are to decrease the impact of the constructed environment on the natural environment. This can only be achieved if we develop ‘intelligent graduates’ with an understanding of sustainability principles and capabilities, as they relate to the build environment, and this can only be achieved, if they are taught by ‘intelligent’ academics with an understanding of sustainability education.
