The Railroad: What It Is, What It Does, Sth Ecition BUILDING SYSTEMS DESIGN 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 requited 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 lifecycie, 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 ‘oking at both realistic and schematic representation, andthe | Page 42 of 120
