Aims
Aim(s) of the module is to introduce modern building construction technology, forms of buildings structures, building structural element design, internal special planning, finishing & related services and to demonstrate an understanding of environmental friendly building design principles to meet regulatory standards. This module focuses on the technology of low-rise & multi-storey residential, commercial & institutional buildings designed for both private and public use.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify the technology of various types of buildings, form of substructures & superstructures, principles of building structural element planning & designing and Identify & understand essential building services, and space requirements of various type of building.
2.
Examine the principles of spatial planning to achieve basic functional requirements of various type of buildings and assess methods and techniques of external works of all types of buildings & landscaping work in building sites.
3.
Recognise specifications and standards for building works, structural designing and building services of various type of building, and Apply various legislative requirements for internal spatial planning and design development requirements of local authorities & regulatory bodies.
4.
Demonstrate knowledge on sustainability design principles and its applications on various types of buildings to achieve environmentally friendly and low energy design according to national & international standards.
