Division Statement
The application of knowledge and skills
relating to evaluation and selection of building systems and related
environmental issues; applicaton of codes and regulations; use of
materials and related technologies; and project and practice management
during the schematic design and design development phases.
Content Areas
|
1
 |
Principles
Incorporate client needs and requirements in the development
of schematic design and design development documents. Consider
the implications of design decisions, human behavior, historic
precedent, and design theory. Also consider building systems
selection; adaptive reuse; and furnishings and equipment.
|
|
2
|
Environmental
Issues
Understand hazardous material mitigation, indoor air quality,
sustainability, energy conservation, and alternative systems
and their application during schematic design and design development.
|
|
3
|
Codes
& Regulations
Understand and incorporate building and specialty codes, zoning,
and other regulatory requirements in the selection of materials
and construction systems.
|

4
|
Materials
& Technology
Analyze the implication of design decisions during schematic
design and design development in relation to the selection of
systems, materials, and methods incorporated into the design
and construction.
A. Masonry: Identify the properties and characteristics
of structural masonry and masonry veneer applications.
B. Metals: Identify the properties and characteristics
of structural and miscellaneous metals.
C. Wood: Identify the properties and characteristics
of wood structures, rough carpentry, finish carpentry, and millwork
assemblies.
D. Concrete: Identify the properties and characteristics
of concrete structures and finishes.
E. Other: Identify the properties and characteristics
of miscellaneous systems, assemblies, membranes, cladding, coatings,
and finish materials (e.g., plastics, composites, glass, tensile,
pneumatic, EIFS, etc.).
F. Specialities: Analyze and select accessories, equipment,
and other specialty items.
G. Site Planning & Design: Identify the properties
and characteristics of site-related structures and materials.
