CN4010 System Integration in Construction Syllabus:
CN4010 System Integration in Construction Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To understand how the various systems that constitute a building design which are interwoven and integrated with a view to achieving a high-performance building;
To understand about the various environmental factors.
To understand about the various services.
To understand about the various maintenance.
To understand various concepts in safety planning.
UNIT I STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION
Structural System, Systems for enclosing Buildings, Functional aesthetic system, Materials Selection and Specification.
UNIT II ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Qualities of enclosure necessary to maintain a specified level of interior environmental quality – weather resistance – Thermal infiltration – Acoustic Control – Transmission reduction – Air quality – illumination – Relevant systems integration with structural systems.
UNIT III SERVICES
Plumbing – Electricity – Vertical circulation and their interaction – Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning Systems in Buildings and implementation techniques in High Rise Buildings.
UNIT IV MAINTENANCE
Component longevity in terms of operation performance and resistance to deleterious forces – Planning systems for least maintenance materials and construction – access for maintenance – Feasibility for replacement of damaged components – equal life elemental design – maintenance free exposed and finished surfaces.
UNIT V SAFETY PLANNING
Ability of systems to protect fire – Preventive systems – fire escape system design – Planning for pollution free construction environmental – Hazard free Construction execution for High Rise Buildings.
OUTCOME:
On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Integrate the various construction techniques and incorporate into the building process
CO2 Appreciate the requirements and elements of HVAC, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and transportation services in buildings
CO3 Design and integrate services into high-rise buildings
CO4 Interpret the intricacies of physical installation of services and their critical sequence in the construction process.
CO5 Adopt an approach relating systems to aim for a high performance building in various categories of major use
