Aims
Aim(s) of the module is to demonstrate an understanding of various aspects of information technology & model based approaches required for construction and building services sectors and to apply CAD tools to produce various design information & modelling details of construction and building services sectors which ensure the competitive effectiveness of Building Services practice.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an understanding about various industry standard drafting tools & packages for construction and manufacturing sectors of building, service & civil engineering structures.
2.
Demonstrate understanding and application of various tools & packages to produce detailed drawings & building information in construction and manufacturing sectors of buildings, services & civil engineering structures.
3.
Evaluate the requirement of advance information technology, Information Communication Technology (ICT) & Building Information Modelling (BIM) and skills to ensure the competitive effectiveness of the future of Building Service Engineering practice.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Introduction to construction CAD packages: AutoCAD, BIM, MS Project.
CAD software packages, its variants & Building Information Modelling (BIM) packages used in building, service, civil engineering & manufacturing sectors.
2D drawing design of various building, service & civil engineering structures: Structural elements of buildings (sub structural & super structural), floor layouts, schedule of openings, structural detailing of civil engineering designs (Bridges & roadways) & cross sectional drawings and service engineering related drawings (mechanical, electrical & plumbing).
3D (Design) modelling of various building, service & civil engineering structures.
4D (Scheduling) of BIM for planning & tracking construction and building services activities.
5D (Cost) of BIM for integration of design (3D) and schedule (4D) with the costs associated with the components of the model.
Future of BIM and dimensions & Building Service Engineering Practice: 6D (Life cycle management) and 7D (Sustainable design).
