Methods of Construction 3
Contents
- Organization of the group
- Systematic inventory, constraints when working on an existing building, acquisition, scope and quality of existing inventory documents
- Assessment of inventory: for support structures, fire prevention, structural design, building services engineering, and assessment of energy efficiency potential
- Examination of support structure and construction- Damage patterns of support structure and construction
- Assessment of energy efficiency potential
- Forms of presenting the preparation of an inventory, presentation to the client
- Preparation for an inventory assessment, compilation of a report- External classes on the building site and post-processing
Qualification Objectives
- The students can organize and carry out the inventory of a building in a group of engineers. They are able to carry out a schematic quantity survey of a plan, and inspect and check inventory plans.
- They integrate what they have learnt about building services engineering, fire protection and construction physics.
- They can determine the lifespan of building elements based on standard values and estimate the remaining lifespan.
- They are able to transfer an engineering plan into a short report and present it to a decision-making committee
- They are able to plan a simple change to the inventory and to prepare the budget for the costs arising from this- The interdisciplinary objective here is personality development, as the students have to generate independent strategies for finding solutions, give these solutions a tangible form and discuss them in the group. The students also have to include the social impact of these solutions in the design, learn how to express themselves in public and improve their presentation techniques.
