Course Title: Building Systems Design Course Code: BLDGDESIGN Course Overview: Building Construction Is Examined From The Standpoints of Life Safety

The course examines building construction from perspectives of life safety, architectural and building systems, sustainability, materials and construction techniques. It focuses on developing knowledge of building systems and compliance with construction codes. Students will learn about building materials and diverse construction methods, sustainability principles, and apply skills and knowledge to case studies. The course includes at least one site visit and teaches techniques for computer modeling of buildings to simulate and inform design.

Course Title: Building Systems Design

Course Code: BLDGDESIGN


Course Overview: Building construction is examined from the standpoints of life safety
(including fire safety and zoning constraints on site planning); architectural and building service
systems (plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, fire protection); materials,
sustainability, and life-cycle analysis; accessibility; technical documentation and outline
specifications; building enclosure systems; and interior finish systems. The lecture course will
focus on developing knowledge of building systems, including architectural design building
materials and construction techniques, and will foster the skills required to adopt a building
systems approach compliant to the National Building Code and its referral codes. The students’
developed knowledge of building systems will also include understanding of different types and
applications of building materials and diverse construction techniques. Sustainability principles’
impact on the property lifecycle, and how these will integrate and apply to skills and knowledge
to industry based case studies will also be examined. The course will include at least one site
visit to an operating building in the locality. The laboratory class will focus on the tools and
techniques to create a computer generated building model, and applied tools for working with
computer model exploring output and simulation. Students will develop techniques looking at
both realistic and schematic representation, and the integration of building systems modeling as a
tool to inform and enhance the design process
