MEBD Architecture at University of Pennsylvania

The Master in Environmental Building Design (MEBD) is a professionally oriented, two-semester, post-professional degree designed for architects seeking new skills and competitive advantage in the growing field of sustainable design. With the renewed urgency of environmental issues—from global climate change to "net-zero" design—architects are faced with demands for new kinds of services that require a new kind of professional. LEED accreditation is a start, helping designers utilize existing technologies, but a wider range of skills is required to achieve real innovation and to meet the needs of clients in this rapidly changing field.
