CAS in Regenerative Materials Offered only in the Spring Semester.
Modules
140-0101-00L	Discovering Regenerative Materials Only for CAS in Regenerative Materials.	O	2 credits	3G	G. Habert, A. Evrard
Abstract	Regenerative materials come in a wide variety of forms and compositions, from raw materials to industrialized construction systems. Knowing the specificities of these different materials is needed to adopt the appropriate constructive choice adapted to the socio-economic situation of the territory and the resource availability.
Learning objective	- Learn the diversity of regenerative materials. - Understand the material through its composition, implementation, LCA analysis and aesthetic. - Take inspiration from vernacular architecture : think local - adopt a territorial approach. - Grasp the fundamental relations existing between a specific construction choice, a level of industrialisation, and the material and immaterial resources available on the territory. - Dare an innovative project which overcome legislative barriers and involve the inhabitants as early as possible in the design process. - Learn how to develop solutions to move towards a regenerative architecture.

140-0102-00L	Earth Construction Only for CAS in Regenerative Materials.	O	2 credits	3G	G. Habert, A. Evrard
Abstract	Earth construction is attracting attention in contemporary construction. New strategies have been developed for innovation, combining traditional techniques with modern construction systems and new materials. These constructions are still challenging with regards to standards and building codes, but many solutions exist to fulfil the expectation and ambition to make a different architecture.
Learning objective	- Learn the different techniques of earth construction. - Understand the structural behaviour and the durability risks. - Define the cost and planning of earth construction. - Adapt the production process to the project: local resources, production line, prefabrication. - Gain experience from projects overcoming structural engineering difficulties and the lack of standards.

140-0103-00L	Bio-Based Construction Only for CAS in Regenerative Materials.	O	2 credits	3G	G. Habert, A. Evrard
Abstract	Lightweight construction correspond to wooden-framed or prefabricated system fulfilled with a lightweight biobased material. Knowing the technical aspects, limitations and solutions, rules, public market, but also building physic is essential for a good conception and the management of the project.
Learning objective	- Know the different techniques of lightweight construction and good practices to prevent future disorders. - Understand the specific thermal and hygrothermal behaviour. - Define the cost and planning strategies. - Know the recent development of lightweight materials. - Identify the challenges for the organization of bio-material supply chain in a territory.

140-0104-00L	Re-Valuing the Building Stock Only for CAS in Regenerative Materials.	O	2 credits	3G	G. Habert, A. Evrard
Abstract	New construction represent only one percent of construction per year in European countries. Re-valuing the existing building stock is therefore a priority. Using bio-based insulation for energy retrofit and the reuse of building component in case of building demolition represent promising carbon-neutral solutions for the construction sector.
Learning objective	- Adopt a methodology for the retrofit of historic buildings as well as 50’s to 80’s building stock. - Understand and manage the moisture risks when retrofitting buildings. - Know the biobased insulation market. - Practice deconstruction of existing building, from dismantling to reuse. - Challenge the conventional building design to maximize its potential for later reuse.

140-0200-00L	Project Only for CAS in Regenerative Materials.	O	4 credits	3G	G. Habert, A. Evrard
Abstract	The last module of the CAS consists in an individual or group project exercise, that will be presented during a final review on the 15th of May 2020
Learning objective	-Analysis of the local resources, the regional know-how and the social challenges of the project to tend towards a regenerative architecture -Definition of a pre-program with cost and planning -Formulation of a strategy to overcome blockage
