Level 3, Unit 3 - Support Design, Structural and Services aspects of a Sustainable Construction Project (8 credits)

1. Use building information modelling techniques to develop the design

2. Use building information modelling techniques to develop structural elements of a building project

3. Use building information modelling techniques to develop building services elements of a building project
1.1 define design elements and operational practicalities to provide the basis of a building information model 2.1 define and create data rich structural elements including foundations, structural walls, slabs, beams and columns 3.1 define and create appropriate systems from prior research, concept analysis and operational practicalities and constraints
1.2 create an architectural model using materials with properties relevant to a sustainable construction project. 2.2 apply science and mathematics to structural specifications. 3.2 apply science and mathematics to assess and calculate energy efficiency in a range of scenarios.
1.3 validate sustainable design ideas through production of data rich detailed 3D information 2.3 validate structural engineering methods through production of data rich detailed 3D information 3.3 validate building services proposals through production of data rich detailed 3D information
1.4 present the design model to critical design experts. 2.4 present the structural model to critical structural experts. 3.4 present the services model to critical services experts.
1.5 resolve design errors, clashes and omissions making modifications as a result of feedback. 2.5 resolve structural errors, clashes and omissions and making modifications as a result of feedback. 3.5 resolve service related errors, clashes and omissions making modifications as a result of feedback.
