1. Identify appropriate provisions of the National Building Code and its referral codes as these apply
to buildings

2. Code and Regulations: Ability to design sits, facilities, and systems that are responsive to relevant
codes and regulations, and include the principles of life safety and accessibility

3. Building Envelop 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

4. Building Material 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
