Faculty of Technology

The Master’s in Building Energy Performance (MBEP) program at CEPT University is built at the confluence of new research, environmental challenges, green buildings rating programs, and policy related to building energy performance. The program is geared towards creating opportunities to learn building energy performance through scientific principles, work with state of art infrastructure to evaluate building energy performance and master digital simulations, tackle complex technical problems and participate in a multidisciplinary environment. Students at this program are trained to influence the design and operation of energy-efficient buildings, while considering all building systems such as HVAC, Controls, Lighting, architecture, occupant health and comfort.

The program utilises a world-class research facility that houses the latest equipment for testing and measuring thermal and luminous effects in buildings, exposing students to state of the art practices and industry standards. Moreover, the faculty team at MBEP consists of academicians, industry experts, experienced practitioners and researchers ranging from fields engineering, architecture, physical science and social science, who have a solution-oriented and interdisciplinary approach.  

With a strategic focus on warm climate, the graduates of this program are attractive candidates for job markets in India, South-east Asia, and the Middle East, and for research careers in Europe and North America. The students from this program have secured research internships in the USA and have been placed at high profile firms throughout India. Graduates of the program work in energy consulting firms, build design teams with building owners and government agencies, and take up leading roles for pursuing energy efficiency with a whole-building perspective.
