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
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically analyse statutory regulations and environmental codes of practice, and evaluate how they apply to the design of buildings, with particular reference to inclusive and 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.
