Sustainable Building & Ecological Design Night Course
St. Johns’ Central College,Cork
This is a night-course devised and run bi-annually by Wiseman Designs to highlight the importance of Sustainable Building and to inform professionals and laypeople alike to the various practices and methods involved.
Since its beginning in 2000, the course has developed very rapidly and continues to do so. This is due increasing public and professional interest and to the participation of the guest speakers. We are now into our 10th course.
The course is CPD accredited by The Institute of Engineers.
