Description of module content:

This module introduces the 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 also embeds the basic principles of energy efficiency, sustainability and ecology sensitivity throughout.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

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.
