CIAC-1007Building Science
This course focuses on the fundamental theory of the effects of air movement, heat and moisture has on building operations and occupants. Students gain knowledge of the application of building science principles to the design and detailing of building envelope systems. They will examine the relationship between materials, components, and assemblies to different environmental conditions. Students will explore practical applications of building science principles through the drawing of wall sections, section details, and plan details. This will illustrate the importance of material selection and detail design, along with understanding the building process, through the function and performance of building components.
