Environmental Engineering in Infrastructure ProjectsLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

After completing the course, the student knows factors affecting the generation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in infrastructure projects. The student understands how choices in the project can support the green transition. Recycling systems on infrastructure construction sites are reviewed through environmental permits and notifications. In addition customers and producers opportunities to influence environmental protection and emission reduction are clarified in the various stages of a project.
