As global climate change and environmental pollution increase, the promotion of green buildings has become a consensus. To cultivate quality talents with awareness and skills in green buildings, this study is based on the teaching process of the green building course at Zhejiang University of Science and Technology. A survey questionnaire was designed around four aspects: basic information on students’ course learning, students’ satisfaction with the course, students’ application preferences, and students’ learning barriers. A total of 79 valid questionnaires were collected. Following the analysis of the questionnaire, it was revealed that the current teaching model exhibits several issues, including lack of theoretical guidance, analysis focuses only on visual effects, limitations of campus conditions and so on. Therefore, from the four aspects of ‘theory module, cognitive module, practice module and practical module’, it is proposed to (1) improve the theoretical foundation of students through the integration of simulation technology, (2) perceive the green building environment through the increase of outdoor practice, (3) quantify the energy-saving effect of green building through simulation software, (4) enrich the teaching scenario through the construction of school-enterprise cooperation platform. The study is conducive to improving the quality development of green building talent training courses.
