The CAS ETH in Regenerative Materials – Hygrothermal Specialisation is an international program launched by the Chair of SustainableConstruction. This program promotes the use of regenerative materials to design and implement high-efficiency building envelopes using renewable resources, providing a robust foundation in hygrothermal material properties and simulation tools.

The program teaches participants to quantify indoor air quality and comfort improvements, reduce energy demands, forecast moisture-related degradation risks and design for durability and long-lasting performance with earth, bio-based, and reused materials, considering HVAC systems and occupant comfort.

This program provides a robust foundation in material properties and simulation tools to design and implement low-carbon and high-efficiency building envelopes using regenerative materials: earth, bio-based & reused. It teaches participants to quantify indoor air quality and comfort improvements, reduce energy demands, forecast moisture-related degradation risks and design for a circular and long-lasting performance, considering HVAC systems and occupant well-being.
