CO4301 Services in Historic Buildings Syllabus:
CO4301 Services in Historic Buildings Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
The objective is to introduce the students to various fields of services involved in heritage structures.
The focus on upgrading services with respect to original design and materials while meeting applicable codes and occupant needs.
To exercise and address issues related to services in historic structures
The attempt will be to improve the internal environment by installing appropriate building services.
The focus will be on an integrated approach to services on historic structures.
