The Sustainable Energy and Building Technology advanced diploma program positions graduates with a portfolio of skills that are in high demand.

The unique program at Humber College prepares graduates to examine, model and improve the energy and environmental performance of existing buildings; to support the design, construction and operation of new, sustainable buildings being built to increasingly stringent performance standards; to implement renewable energy technologies; and to support new approaches to understanding and managing energy use and building resilience into campuses, neighbourhoods or entire cities. 

At one time students paid little attention to the cost, availability or environmental impact of energy use – today, these are issues of growing importance to individuals, businesses and governments.

Work Placement

This program offers a co-op option. 

Co-op work terms enable you to apply your skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable, practical experience related to your program of study. 

For students who are accepted into the program, three co-op work terms will take place. 

Two four-month work terms occur consecutively after four semesters of study, and the third work term occurs between Semesters 5 and 6. 

There are limited spaces in the co-op option, therefore, during Semester 3, you will be provided information about the application process and will be able to apply to the co-op stream at that time. 

While co-op work opportunities are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market, participating students will receive a wide range of services to help them find a co-op opportunity.
