Rofayda Salem is a researcher and educator in environmental design, specialising in Islamic architecture and heritage conservation, with professional experience in sustainability in the Middle East and Turkey.

TES modules offer a robust educational structure for mastering environmental design principles, seamlessly integrating this knowledge into the architectural design process. This equips students with critical skills and insights.

TES 1 establishes the basics of environmental building design, delving into building physics, material impacts and sustainable construction methods. TES 2 encourages students to use practical applications, focusing on passive heating and cooling systems to enhance energy efficiency. TES 3 rounds off the series with advanced energy modelling and simulation tools, enabling students to predict and evaluate a building’s environmental impact on existing buildings and new designs. 

The modules are complemented by theoretical sessions and hands-on workshops that cover environmental analysis at micro and macro scales and human comfort considerations. uest lectures from industry professionals and academics enrich the educational experience, providing students with a comprehensive understanding. This holistic approach ensures that graduates are equipped to innovate and lead in creating environmentally responsible buildings.
