COURSE SYLLABUS

1. COURSE SPECIFICATIONS
Course Title Engineering Utilities 1 Course Code: CE 333
Course Description The course focuses on the environmental systems in buildings. Lecture discussions include building electrical systems, natural and artificial lighting, and building
telecommunications. Reducing operational loads and integrating high performance energy systems into buildings offers solutions towards achieving a sustainable and
secure energy future. Engineers must understand the interrelationship between a building and its subsystems, and need sufficient knowledge of building systems and
design alternatives to recommend appropriate PSG for BSCE Page 28 of 120 solutions that suit the site, climate, building type, and occupants. They must coordinate the
work of the engineering disciplines that carry the sustainability concept forward through building design, construction, commissioning, operation and, ultimately,
demolition, recycling and reuse.
