Building construction is examined from the standpoints of life (including fire safety and zoning constraints),
architectural and building service system (plumbing, Electrical, vertical transportation) materials sustainability
and life cycle analysis, building enclosure systems.
The lecture will focus on developing knowledge of building system, including architectural design building
materials and construction techniques and will foster the skills required to adopt a building system approach
compliant to the National Building code.
The laboratory class will focus on the tools and techniques to create a computer-generated building model
and applied tools for working with computer model exploring output and simulation.
This course deals with the principles and concepts of the Plumbing, Sanitary, Hot and Cold Water Distributions, Acoustical Control, Fire Protection and Heat Transfer in Mechanical Engineering discipline with regards to the essential utilities of an infrastructure specifically for the Civil Engineers in multi-cultural aspects.
