Decarbonizing Projects with Sustainable Materials Decarbonization in the construction industry is essential to reducing environmental impact and meeting the demand for more efficient and sustainable buildings. In this 4-class course, participants will learn how to identify and minimize embodied and operational carbon emissions using tools like EDGE App and Climate Positive to perform practical analyses and simulations. What will you learn? ✔ How to measure and reduce carbon emissions in building and landscape projects ✔ Methods for selecting sustainable materials and solutions ✔ Simulations in EDGE App to optimize energy and water consumption ✔ Using Climate Positive to calculate environmental impact and test decarbonization alternatives ✔ Strategies to align projects with environmental certifications and global sustainability goals

Sustainable Retrofit: Transforming Existing Buildings The live mentorship "Sustainable Retrofit: Transforming Existing Buildings" is designed for professionals looking to enhance their skills in modernizing buildings with a focus on sustainability. During the mentorship, strategies will be covered to optimize energy performance, reduce water consumption, and implement solutions that minimize environmental impacts, taking into account the specific challenges of existing constructions. In addition to theoretical concepts, the mentorship offers a practical approach, with real-life examples and discussions on common challenges in retrofit projects. The goal is to equip participants to identify improvement opportunities, propose efficient interventions, and add value to properties through sustainable and innovative solutions.

Welcome to the Energy, Thermal, and Lighting Simulation for Buildings mentorship! UGREEN presents an exclusive mentorship on computational simulation for energy, thermal and lighting analysis of buildings, designed for architects, engineers, and construction professionals who want to optimize projects using advanced digital tools.

Mentorship focused on sales arguments, supported by studies, scientific evidence, and real-world data that prove the effectiveness and benefits of sustainable strategies. This approach is essential to clearly demonstrate to the client why adopting various sustainable solutions is worthwhile for their project.

Lesson 1 – Nature in the Space: Direct Contact In this first lesson, we explore the seven patterns of the “Nature in the Space” category from the Terrapin Bright Green methodology, which address direct contact with nature within built environments. You will learn: What patterns 1 to 7 are and how to apply them in interior design and architecture projects. Scientific evidence showing how direct presence of nature reduces stress, increases well-being, and improves productivity. Practical metrics to diagnose and measure the quality of connection with natural elements. Real examples of application in homes, offices, schools, and urban spaces. By the end, you will have tools to diagnose and implement biophilic strategies that bring immediate benefits to health, comfort, and user experience.

The Sustainable Architecture 2.0 Mentorship is an intensive program of four live sessions designed for architects and construction professionals who want to turn ideas into projects that combine health, efficiency, and positive impact. With practical tools and international case studies — including innovative examples from the Middle East — participants will learn how to apply strategies such as material selection, biophilic and biomimetic design, community engagement, and resilience. More than technical knowledge, the mentorship fosters a new mindset: architecture as a regenerative force that strengthens ecosystems, creates value for clients and communities, and contributes to a more balanced planet.
