Aims
To introduce the fundamental skills needed for the design process;
To equip the student with the fundamental tools, including the necessary IT skills necessary to carry out a building services engineering design project;
To develop and refine the student's written, verbal, graphical and presentation skills.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Investigate a range of building services design solutions for a simple commercial or domestic building and determine installation requirements.
2.
Use appropriate CAD and IT packages to produce building services design documentation.
3.
Communicate design solutions graphically, verbally and in writing.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will be given the construction details of a non-complex commercial or domestic building and will be required to investigate sustainable and practical design solutions for a range of building services systems. Students will produce feasibility studies, design drawings, schedules, reports and associated documentation related to their design. The services to be designed include: above and below ground drainage; cold and hot water services; electrical small power distribution; lighting; wet central heating.
Module Overview:
This module introduces the fundamental skills needed for the design process. It equips you with the fundamental tools, including the necessary IT skills, to carry out a building services engineering design project.
This module introduces the fundamental skills needed for the design process. It equips you with the fundamental tools, including the necessary IT skills, to carry out a building services engineering design project.
Additional Information:The module in delivered through a multi-task project which requires students to produce designs based on the building services needs of a non-complex building. Interdisciplinary working is actively encouraged and facilitated and it is envisaged that students will be working alongside Architectural Engineering students on a complementary design project module.
In this module, the knowledge learning outcomes are K2, K3, K8 the behaviours learning outcomes are B1, B6 and the skills learning outcomes are S1, S2, S3 and S7.
