NAAB Student Performance Criteria This course and its prior fall semester complement, ARCH4350/6350, in part or in its entirety is intended to satisfy the following NAAB Student Performance Criteria: B.6 Environmental Systems: Ability to demonstrate the principles of environmental systems’ design, which must include active and passive heating and cooling, indoor air quality, solar orientation, daylighting and artificial illumination, and acoustics; and an understanding of performance assessment tools. B.9 Building Service Systems: Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of building service systems such as plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, and fire protection systems.
Objectives The objectives of this course are to teach the student to understand: demonstrate the principles of environmental systems’ design of active heating and cooling, indoor air quality, artificial illumination, and acoustics) understand performance assessment tools (economic payback analysis, life cycle cost analysis, energy modelling) understand the fundamentals of building service systems (plumbing, vertical transportation, electrical systems, fire protection systems, building security systems)

Recitations There will be a series of recitations as shown on the schedule: Recitation# Code Topic 1 EL Electric Lighting 2 HC Heating and Cooling Loads 3 PL Plumbing 4 AC Acoustics 5 SS Service Systems Students can work in small groups but each student must submit her or his own work individually to Canvas by 1 PM on the day it will be discussed in the recitation.
Late Policy Unexcused late work will be penalized one full letter grade for any part of the first calendar day and one full letter grade each day thereafter. For example, an “A” will become a “B” etc. All previously unsubmitted late work must be turned in by 5:00 PM on the last day of the classes to receive course completion credit.
Examinations Exams will be given during class time in the design studio. Children, pets, and guests are not allowed in studio during the exam. Unless otherwise announced, exams will be multiple choice/true-false questions.
Examinations Exams will be open book and open notes and will cover all lecture, reading, and recitation materials. Bring a calculator, a #2 or HB pencil, and any assigned reading materials.
Examinations Arrangements for students with learning difficulties should be made prior to the examination. Makeup exams will only be given for medical or legal related reasons.
Examinations Students arriving late will be penalized for their tardiness. Results will be posted a minimum of 24 hours after all students have taken the exam.
