This Module provides an introduction to M&E, HVAC and drainage building services technology and building systems. It will provide learners with some understanding of building services technology within the built environment. This module aims to further develop and deepen the learner's understanding of the building services elements and components which combine to complete an efficient and functioning building. This includes an understanding of the relationship between the architectural and civil engineering disciplines and the building services discipline. It will provide the learner with an awareness of the range of options best suited to the building's use and for end-user comfort.

1. Apply and use their developed knowledge to discuss the importance of green technologies to building services.

2. Assess and explain the functions, principles and environmental constraints of services in buildings.

3. Demonstrate the application of the building regulations, relevant to building services, for a construction project.

4. Explain the theory of the application of services to a building.

5. Identify the importance and practical application of science to building services.

The module will introduce students to multi-storey and long-span industrial buildings and the identification of project-specific solutions. The student will examine and learn about the various forms of substructure common to these types of buildings. They will take the building out of the ground through the use of differing framed construction methods, continuing with various types of internal flooring systems. The learner will continue up the building and be introduced to the many forms of roofing and cladding utilised in the construction of industrial buildings and how different materials, systems and legislation are used to provide fire protection to these structures. Students will also learn how technology can influence the comfort of humans within the built environment, through the application of environmental science. Learners will also develop an understanding of the application of Passive House Design concepts for Non-Domestic Buildings. The learner will recognise how different end users affect the loading on building elements. The student will be in a position to provide a research report which demonstrates the student's ability to carry out research and critically evaluate strategies, trends and emerging issues and technologies associated with high-rise constriction projects. All this will take into account current building and health and safety legislation.

1. Develop and demonstrate their understanding of the design and construction methods relating to Industrial buildings.

2. Differentiate between, then compare and contrast, construction details in relation to the functional requirements of industrial buildings.

3. Identify and distinguish between the different materials and systems used to provide fire protection in multi storey buildings.

4. Demonstrate a knowledge of, formulate and provide advice on; sub-structures, cladding, internal flooring and roofs for industrial buildings.

5. Compare and contrast the different materials; steel, concrete, timber and how they are used in industrial frames.

This module is intended to develop design, communication and management skills within a BIM environment.

1. Understand fundamentals of BIM and its implementation in the construction industry

2. Create and presentbasic 3D BIM Models,details and schedules

3. Manage and share content of 3D models competentlyin a CDE environment

4. Access and useBuilding Information Modelling within the construction industry

The learner will gain an understanding of how to use surveying equipment to carry out topographical surveys and set out construction works. The learner will also learn how to use BIM compatible 3D software to produce site plans and sections and carry out computations for land conveyancing and construction planning purposes.

1. Understand and carryout fundamental surveying calculations.

2. Carry out topographical surveys and use BIM compatible 3D software to produce site plans.

3. Control the set out of buildings horizontally and vertically using standard surveying equipment.

4. Carry out grading analysis, earthwork volumes analysis, longitudinal and cross sections for construction projects.

5. Read and produce basic Mass Haul diagrams

This module is intended to develop the learners design, communication, collaboration and management skills within a BIM CDE environment.

1. Create and presentbasic RevitModels and details and schedules

2. Manage and share content of Revitmodels compentently

3. Assess and useBuilding Information Modelling within the construction industry

4. Interrogate BIM models using collaboration software.

This module aims at providing the learner with an understanding of the elements involved in the construction of commercial, multi-storey buildings, paying particular attention to modern methods, such as; Lean Construction, Lean Project Delivery, Modular Construction, Offsite Construction, Just in Time deliveries etc.

The student will learn about and report on Construction Elements, such as; Cladding types, Gluelam beams, Internal wall systems, Lift shafts, Parapets, Raised access floors, Roof lights, Stairs (Precast / in-situ, completions and finishes), Suspended ceilings etc. They will compliment this with; Multi storey Frames, Roofing Systems and finishes, decoration, fittings and fit -out.

The learner will explore Sustainable Construction and the environmental impact of design and development, examining how the implementation of Environmental Science during these phases provides an an understanding of the underlying principles and the influencing factors associated with the design decision.

This module further aims to develop and deepen the learner's understanding of the building services elements and building components which combine to complete an efficient and functioning building.

This includes an understanding of the relationship between the architectural and civil engineering disciplines and the building services discipline.

1. Examine and demonstrate a knowledge of construction elements across a range of commercial, industrial buildings and multi-storey buildings.

2. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of ;Finishes, Decoration, fittings and fit -out.

3. Identify, examine, then compare and contrast traditional and modern construction methods, with respect to Modular Construction, Offsite Construction, Just in Time deliveries and construction sustainability.

4. Recognise the need for and assess the technologies and systems involved in multi storey Frames, structural glazing, non-metal cladding options and the various roofing system

5. Undertake research and report on how sustainable construction is affected, the environmental impact of differing construction elements and roofing systems, examining the factors that influence their inclusion in commercial and multi-storey buildings.
