COURSE INFORMATION
Course Number
CE 2235
Course Title
Building Systems Design LEC
Course Description
Building construction is examined from the standpoints of life safety (including fire
safety and zoning constraints on site planning); architectural and building service
systems (plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, fire protection);
materials, sustainability, and life-cycle analysis accessibility, technical
documentation and outline specifications; building enclosure systems; and
interior finish systems.
The lecture course will focus on developing knowledge of building systems,
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 and its referral codes. The students ‘developed
knowledge of building systems will also include understanding of different types
and applications of building materials and diverse construction techniques.
Sustainability principles' impact on the property lifecycle, and how these will
integrate and apply to skills and knowledge to industry-based case studies will
also be examined. The course will include at least one site visit to an operating
building in the locality.
The laboratory class will focus on the tools and techniques to create a computergenerated building model, and applied tools for working with computer model
exploring output and simulation. Students will develop techniques looking at both
realistic and schematic representation, and the integration of building systems
modeling as a tool to inform and enhance the design process.
Course Learning
Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students must be able to:
CLO1: Identify appropriate provisions of the National Building Code and its
referral codes as these apply to buildings;
CLO2: Codes and Regulations: Ability to design sites, facilities, and systems that
are responsive to relevant codes and regulations, and include the principles of
life safety and accessibility standards;
CLO3: Technical Documentation: Ability to make technically clear drawings,
prepare outline specifications, and construct models illustrating and identifying
the assembly of materials, systems, and components appropriate for a building
design;
CLO4: Building Envelope Systems and Assemblies: Understanding of the basic
principles involved in the appropriate selection and application of building
envelope systems relative to fundamental performance, aesthetics, moisture
transfer, durability, and energy and material resources;
CLO5: Building Materials and Assemblies: Understanding of the basic principles
used in the appropriate selection of interior and exterior construction materials,
finishes, products, components, and assemblies based on their inherent
performance, including environmental impact and reuse;
CLO6: Building Service Systems: Understanding of the basic principles and
appropriate application and performance of building service systems, including
lighting, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, communication, vertical transportation,
security, and fire protection systems;
CLO7: Financial Considerations Understanding of the fundamentals of building
costs, which must include life-cycle costs.
