Construction Technology 3

Catalog description

This course will focus on the performance of buildings relative to environmental impact and operational response. Starting with the buildings skin, systems will be understood as being in contact and in manipulated exchange with the thermal, luminous and acoustic environment surrounding them, to serve the ambience and comfort of the interior.Basic knowledge of exchange, distribution and regulation will be related to construction and mechanical systems. The goal is to integrate structural, mechanical and spatial requirements to make appropriate choices during the design phase, allowing students to understand the building as a holistic regulated environment.
