Module Description: |
The aims of the Commercial & Industrial Technology section of this module are: 1. To create an understanding of superstructure and the performance requirements of framed buildings, external envelope & elements within the internal environment. 2. To provide an advanced study and understanding of the benefits and integration of sustainable building practices. 3. To provide an understanding of materials, properties, junctions and their interaction with modern construction techniques related to superstructure requirements.
The aims of the Sustainable Technology section of this module are: 1. To examine the impact of the building on the users and occupants in relation to wellbeing and universal accessibly. 2. To examine waste management and reduction methods. 3. To apply acquired knowledge to DEAP software so as to be able to complete a BER certificate.
