ObjectivesObjectives

The objectives of this course are to teach the student to understand: thermal and lighting performance in architecturemethods for selecting thermal and electric lighting systemsfundamentals of economic analysis for selection of energy systemsimplications of energy codes on building designfundamentals of life-cycle cost analysis building systemsfundamentals of energy modelingfundamentals of vertical transportationbasic electrical systems employed in buildingsfundamentals of electric lighting systemsfundamentals of electrical systemsfundamentals of fire protection systemsfundamentals of plumbing systemsfundamentals of architectural acoustics

NAAB Student Performance NAAB Student Performance CriteriaCriteria

This course and its prior fall semester complement, ARCH4350/6350, in part or in its entirety is intended to satisfy the following NAAB Student Performance Criteria: B.6 Environmental Systems: Understanding the principles of environmental systems’ design, which must include active and passive heating and cooling, indoor air quality, solar orientation, daylighting and artificial illumination, and acoustics; and an understanding of performance assessment tools.

B.9 Building Service Systems: Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of building service systems such as plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, and fire protection systems.

Late PolicyLate Policy

Late work will be penalized one full letter grade for any part of the first calendar day and one full letter grade each day thereafter. For example, an “A” will become a “B” etc.

All previously unsubmitted late work must be turned in by 5:00 PM on the last day of the classes to receive course completion credit.

ExaminationsExaminations

Exams will be given during class time in the design studio.

Children, pets, and guests are not allowed in studio during the exam.

Unless otherwise announced, exams will be multiple choice/true-false questions.

ExaminationsExaminations

Exams will be open book and open notes and will cover all lecture, reading, and recitation materials.

Bring a calculator, a #2 or HB pencil, and any assigned reading materials.

ExaminationsExaminations

Arrangements for students with learning difficulties should be made prior to the examination.

Makeup exams will only be given for medical or legal related reasons.

ExaminationsExaminations

Students arriving late will be penalized for their tardiness.

Results will be posted a minimum of 24 hours after all students have taken the exam.
