Modular Certificate in Building Design & Management - Part of Diploma in Engineering (Building Services & Fire Safety) (DEBF1)
About This Course
(a) BIM (MEP)
This module aims to use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software to design and develop Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems from established architectural models. Students will be taught how to coordinate MEP, architecture and structural designs by clash detection techniques provided by BIM software. The use of the as-built models and the information contained therein for BIM Facility Management (BIMFM) and other simulation tools such as energy modelling will also be discussed.
(b) Project Management
This module seeks to teach the students the rudiments of building and engineering project management. Topics include contract administration, construction and engineering economics and finance, project planning techniques, co-ordination procedure and interfacing of building services into the building fabric.
(c) Sustainable Building Construction
This module provides students with the basic knowledge on the building construction with green building design features. Topics will include building design basics, green building design features, building materials, design of building elements and building construction process. Relevant codes pertaining to the building construction and green buildings will be covered. Simulation of solar and lighting analysis using BIM Models were also be taught.
