Building Codes, Energy, and Net-Zero Construction (DRFT 2206)
Students are introduced to the integration of building codes, energy efficiency standards, and net-zero construction principles within a BIM-enabled workflow. Students analyze current codes and standards, evaluate energy performance strategies, and apply sustainable design principles to support low-carbon and net-zero building outcomes. AI-supported tools will be used to interpret codes, simulate energy performance, and enhance decision-making in design coordination.
