CIAC-1009Building Codes and Standards
Building codes and standards are in place both provincially and nationally, and this course provides a foundational introduction to these concepts geared at internationally educated architecture, engineering, and construction professionals. Students will explore current and relevant codes as well as the relationship between codes, standards, specifications, and regulations. Students will become familiar with different codes and governing bodies to identify relevant applications to specific contexts and practices. The concepts from this course will be reinforced in subsequent courses in the Engineering and Construction Technologies program and the Capstone project.
