Description of module content:

This module introduces the structural, performance and aesthetic characteristics of building materials typically used within a domestic structure.

The module employs a mix of regulatory text, graphical visualisation and technical drawings to demonstrate:
? where materials appear within the building,
? why these elements are designed to go together,
? construction procedures and sequence of events to combine these elements into a technology,
? how the component performs during its operational life,
? The module profiles the building’s design to contextualise the material and services technology for measurement, assessment and evaluation for the building’s design, operation and sale.

The module embeds the basic principles of energy efficiency, sustainability and ecology sensitivity throughout.






Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: To identify elements and components within domestic construction systems
LO2: Demonstrate an understanding of technical drawings of detailed cross section.
LO3: Describe the behaviour of building elements and components.
LO4: Demonstrate an understanding of how the natural and artificial environments affect the performance characteristics of building elements and components.
LO5: apply the appropriate construction legislation to the design of a building Element.
