3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the process of integrated building design. It emphasizes both computer assistance (CA) & building design (BD). Building design is viewed in a holistic manner integrating related fields such as spatial layouts, structures, enclosures, energy consumption, & construction cost estimation. Building engineering design process: methodology, identification of objectives, building codes, formulation of design problems. Development & evaluation of design alternatives. Conceptual building design: spatial requirements, design of space layout. Preliminary building design: synthesis & design of structures, enclosure systems, & services (HVAC, lighting, electrical distribution) using computer-aided design tools. Performance evaluation using modeling, sensitivity analysis & cost estimation. A major design project is an integral part of this course. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Armour College of Engineering College Civil Archl Environ Engrg Department
