Building Systems for Designers: The Building and Its Environment

Building Systems for Designers: The Building and Its Environment

2 hrs. Online Course

Level: Fundamental

Item#: RV-10378

SME: Corky Binggeli, ASIID

This course has been discontinued.

Although interior designers are primarily concerned with the conditions inside buildings, they benefit from observing a building’s site, climate, and geography. Interior spaces are increasingly blended with their natural settings. Wise energy use dictates awareness of how sun, wind, and cold affect the building’s interior. Interior designers today are working as part of environmentally aware design teams that blend knowledge of interior design principles with an understanding of a building’s natural surroundings.
 
This interactive online course examines the connection between a building’s interior and exterior environment and the influence of external weather and site conditions on a building envelope. Sustainable design strategies will be discussed, as well as building codes and regulations.

  • Discuss the building envelope and it’s dynamic relationship between the building interior and outdoor environment
  • List the implications of energy conservation on a building’s form, including designing for specific functions, designing space between floors and ceilings, and service cores
  • Discuss the responsibilities of a design team and the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to revolutionize the building design process
  • Describe how building systems are designed to meet human biology, including the need to maintain thermal equilibrium, the effects of heat and cold, and required visual and acoustic comfort
