The MBUILD - Master Degree in Sustainable Design, Construction and Management of the Built Environments - is an EMJM Erasmus Mundus Joint Master delivered and awarded by the University of Porto (UP Porto, Portugal), University of Cantabria (UC Santander, Spain) and Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM Gieβen, Germany). MBUILD is a 2-year 120 ECTS programme with full involvement of the partner HEI. The students will spend the first 3 semesters successively in UP, THM and UC. In the 4th semester, they will develop their dissertation under the supervision of professors from the partner institutions in connection with supporting companies. MBUILD aims to give an answer to identified difficulties faced by European Construction Industry (CI) companies, mainly when working in developing countries, in implementing projects with a high level of sustainable and environmentally conscious solutions. The availability of adequate professional expertise, in particular local one, is often scarce, a problem this Joint Master intends to tackle by providing its students with a wide scope of knowledge and learning outcomes under the more recent and relevant concerns for more sustainable construction operations. The course plan has taught modules addressing the issues of Sustainability in CI under the views of relevant Strategies and their application in the Design and Construction stages, as well as its Management under an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model. The modules in the study plan will make the students follow the sustainability perspectives pertaining to Buildings through their impact in the Urban context and, finally, to its framework in what concerns Infrastructures and the Built Environment as a whole.

In Lars we trust 🙌
Let's talk about #engagement! 🎉 Our CEO at Cobuilder, Lars Christian Fredenlund, is basically a "high energy" person. Sometimes it can be a bit much, but at the same time his engagement is contagious. He is spreading knowledge about the digitalisation of the #construction industry to new people around the world, to everyone that wants to listen. 🏙🌍👍 Sharing of knowledge is a big part of what we do at Cobuilder. It takes a lot of work to help the understanding of something that is quite complicated even for experts in the field. That said, engagement, energy and a message that resonates, is a prerequisite if you want to help #change an entire industry. 👊 Here is Lars delivering the gospel of the benefits of #digitalproductpassport, #datadictionaries and more, for students at the University of Porto, Portugal. 👩🎓 Pedro Mêda Lars Christian Fredenlund #bim #digitalproductpassport #standards Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto

On November 24th, the MBUILD 2nd Edition Students and Professors Hipólito Sousa, Jorge Moreira da Costa, Maria Helena Corvacho, João Poças Martins and Diego Calvetti visited the new facility construction at Adega do Ataíde in Vila Flor 🍷. Owned by Symington Family Estates, Adega do Ataíde is the most recent unit in this group and aims to be an example of innovation and sustainability. Targeting the LEED Gold certification process, this building is self-sufficient in energy terms and exemplary in water management, natural lighting, and industrial process optimisation. It is located on an agricultural property that also shares these sustainable concerns. The main goal of this visit was to show students how sustainability concepts and strategies, which are part of MBUILD's objectives and covered in classes, can be implemented in real projects. The architectural project was designed by Architect Luís Loureiro, from the Symington group, with SOPSEC S.A. detailing it and developing the respective engineering specialities designs.
This week at FEUP 🇵🇹, we received our dear colleague and partner in the MBUILD Erasmus+ Masters, Professor Elena Blanco Fernández from UC 🇪🇸. Professor Elena Blanco Fernández delivered to the 2nd Edition Students an insightful course about Project Management using Primavera P6. Thanks for sharing such a tool that will be very valuable for students over the following semesters. #erasmus #erasmusplus #education #projectmanagement
Outstanding lecture from Lars Christian Fredenlund, Cobuilder CEO 🇳🇴, about BIM standards, Digital Product Passports (DDPs) and Sustainability to the 2ed-MBUILD at FEUP 🇵🇹 yesterday. Thank you, Lars Christian Fredenlund, for sharing practical examples for the students on how projects can achieve the sustainable goals targeted over European and UN goals. Also, kudos to Professor Pedro Mêda for the initiative to connect academia and companies from the perspective of DPPs. 📲 #erasmus #erasmusplus #dpp #digitalproductpassport #digitalbusinesstransformation #bim
