Join a CAT student teaching week and delve into the complex relationship between finding buildings comfortable, energy flows in buildings and energy-efficient building design.Through a series of lectures, discussions, and practical activities you will learn alongside our postgraduate students on our MSc courses including Sustainability and Behaviour Change and in Sustainability in Energy Provision and Demand Management.
Taking this module as a short course, you will experience what it likes to study on one of our postgraduate courses at CAT and gain invaluable knowledge and skills around the wider implications of the sustainable adaptations and transformational changes needed to address the climate and biodiversity emergency.
---Key information---
• Duration: five days
• Upcoming dates: Monday 5 October – Friday 9 October
• Start and finish times: starts at 10am and ends at 1pm on the last day
• Fees: £700
• Includes: tuition, all materials, lunch
• Please note that accommodation is NOT currently available at CAT for this course. Spaces may be released once students have booked their accommodation in September.
• What to bring: good boots and waterproof clothing is advised
---Who this course is aimed at---
This week is aimed at people who wish to have a taster of studying at postgraduate level at CAT and want to be better able to understand how we can design more energy-efficient sustainable homes and buildings that will meet our demands in the face of the climate crisis.
---What you will learn---
This short course help participants to develop critical and systematic approaches to critically appraise the energy-efficient design and approaches we can take to create thermally comfortable energy-efficient buildings.
Topics covered include:
• Thermal comfort
• Heat transfers through building fabric, determination of U values
• Ventilation
• Sunlight and solar gain
• Passive cooling
• Thermal mass
• Impact of moisture on building fabric
• Climate influences on design and future climate change considerations for this
• Quantification of building performance
• Embodied energy and carbon of building materials
• Building energy management
• Aspects of human health and wellbeing in relation to above topics of study
• Societal benefits of energy-efficient buildings

Ymunwch ag wythnos addysgu myfyrwyr CyDA, gan ymchwilio i’r berthynas gymhleth rhwng cael adeiladau sy’n gyffyrddus, llif ynni mewn adeiladau a dylunio adeiladau sy’n defnyddio ynni mewn ffordd effeithlon.
Trwy gyfrwng cyfres o ddarlithoedd, trafodaethau, a gweithgareddau ymarferol, byddwch yn dysgu gyda’n myfyrwyr ôl-raddedig ar ein cyrsiau MSc gan gynnwys Cynaliadwyedd a Newid Ymddygiad a Chynaliadwyedd mewn Darparu Ynni a Rheoli’r Galw.
Gan ddilyn y modiwl hwn fel cwrs byr, byddwch yn cael y profiad o astudio ar un o’n cyrsiau ôl-raddedig yn CyDA a sicrhau gwybodaeth a sgiliau hynod werthfawr ynghylch goblygiadau ehangach yr addasiadau cynaliadwy a’r newidiadau trawsnewidiol sy’n angenrheidiol er mwyn mynd i’r afael â’r argyfwng hinsawdd a bioamrywiaeth.
---Gwybodaeth allweddol---
• Hyd: pum diwrnod
• Dyddiadau nesaf: Dydd Llun 5 Hydref tan Dydd Gwener 9 2026
• Amseroedd cychwyn a gorffen: bydd yn cychwyn am 10am ac yn gorffen am 1pm ar y diwrnod olaf
• Ffioedd: £700
• Yn cynnwys: hyfforddiant, yr holl ddeunyddiau, cinio
• Sylwer NAD oes llety ar gael ar hyn o bryd yn CyDA ar gyfer y cwrs hwn. Efallai y caiff lleoedd eu rhyddhau pan fydd myfyrwyr wedi archebu eu llety ym mis Medi.
• Bydd angen: fe’ch cynghorir i ddod ag esgidiau da a dillad sy’n dal dŵr.
---Yr hyn y byddwch yn ei ddysgu---
Mae’r cwrs byr hwn yn helpu cyfranogwyr i ddatblygu dulliau hanfodol a systematig er mwyn arfarnu’r dyluniad a’r dulliau effeithlon o ran ynni y gallwn eu cymryd i greu adeiladau sy’n gyffyrddus yn thermol ac sy’n defnyddio ynni mewn ffordd effeithlon.
Mae’r pynciau a ystyrir yn cynnwys:
• Cyfforddusrwydd thermol
• Trosglwyddiadau gwres trwy ffabrig adeilad, pennu gwerthoedd U
• Awyru
• Heulwen ac ynni solar
• Oeri goddefol
• Màs thermol
• Effaith lleithder ar ffabrig adeilad
• Dylanwadau yr hinsawdd ar ddylunio ac ystyriaethau o ran newid hinsawdd yn y dyfodol ar gyfer hyn
• Mesur perfformiad adeilad
• Carbon ac ynni ymgorfforedig deunyddiau adeiladu
• Rheoli ynni adeilad
• Agweddau ar iechyd a lles pobl mewn perthynas â’r pynciau astudio uchod
• Manteision cymdeithasol adeiladau sy’n defnyddio ynni mewn ffordd effeithlon
