ARC 249 - Building Mechanical Systems

ARC 249 Building Mechanical Systems is intended for Architectural Technology majors. This course will present an overview of the principles and practices used in the design of mechanical systems for buildings. Students will study the design and selection of HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems and the architect's role in selecting these systems. To better accommodate the global initiative to focus on more sustainable design, it is necessary for the prudent architect to holistically integrate the architecture and mechanical systems of a building. The material covered in this class is presented in a lecture format.
