This course in the Green Buildings Technical Core looks at two important areas for sustainable commercial buildings: integrated control systems and the hands-on 'fine tuning' that is essential for a building to operate efficiently. The first part of the course will concentrate on an overview of digital control systems: electrical circuits and basic system design. The second part of the course focuses on the detailed knowledge needed for the emerging field of building commissioning, now a requirement of the LEED certification process. 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab perweek. Prerequisite: ARC- 3010 and SDT-3110. Co-requisite: ARC-4030.

Working with a client and experts in the field, each team will develop and present their concepts for a sustainable solution. This course requires that students draw upon solid knowledge of the SDT core, as well as the technical courses in their own concentration. The final solutions will be presented to the class and a panel of professionals. 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: SDT-3121 and SDT-4112.

3.00 Credits
This course explores the ways that science and technology are related to the broader social context of human civilization. Case studies illustrate the social and environmental impacts of science and technology, as well as the ways that social structures influence the development of science and technology. Guest lecturers discuss the responsibility of the individual technician. Students give oral presentations and engage in class debates. 3 hours of lecture per week. (General Education: SS). Prerequisite: None.
