COURSE CODE: CE 134

COURSE NAME: BUILDING SYSTEM DESIGN

PREREQUISITE: ENGINEERING DRAWING AND PLANS

COURSE CREDIT: 3 units (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)

 COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Building construction is examined from the standpoints of

1. life safety (including fire safety, and zoning constraints on site planning);

2. architectural and building service systems (plumbing, electrical, vertical

transportation, security, fire protection);

3. materials, sustainability, and life-cycle analysis; accessibility;

4. technical documentation and outline specifications;

5. building enclosure systems; and interior finish systems.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

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

6. Building Services 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

7. Financial Considerations Understanding of the fundamentals of building costs, which must

include life-cycle costs
