Aims

To provide knowledge, awareness and application of building regulations, environmental standards and codes of practice appropriate to the discipline of architectural technology To develop understanding of sustainable design, materials and emerging technology in contrasting environments To evaluate the process of specifying materials and components using various sources of information and evaluating their implications with regard to performance, quality and sustainability. To provide the student with appropriate skills to produce a specification to industry standard practice.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Critically analyse statutory regulations and environmental codes of practice, and evaluate how they apply to the design and detailing of buildings, with particular reference to sustainable buildings
2.
Evaluate the impact of climate change on building design and technology in contrasting environments
3.
Specify construction works using industry standards and discuss implications for building quality, sustainability and buildability.
