Module Learning Strategies
Delivery will comprise lectures (18 hours) and workshops (18 hours) which will include student centred exercises. Case studies, demonstrations and independent study will support learning.
Independent study and guided learning will support each session. You can expect to spend around 18 hours in preparation for the workshops. Self tuition through a Study Pack is expected to take approximately 36 hours and access to tutor and work-based guidance will take place. It is expected that in-house support will facilitate the learning environment and you could expect to spend about 40 hours on work-based learning. Additionally you can expect to utilise some web-based enquiry as part of your independent learning.

Module Special Admissions Requirements
Must have studied, or be studying, Construction Science and Materials module.
Module Indicative Content
This module is intended to expand upon the scientific principles introduced in the
module Construction Science and Materials and to apply this knowledge to the practical aspects of building services planning and installation. It provides an understanding of the principal applications of building services to domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. It also integrates with the construction technology modules and reinforces the need for co-ordination of the building services installations within the overall construction process.
It covers:
Design requirements of mechanical services into buildings
Services distribution to a variety of building types and regulatory requirements
Disposal systems for a variety of buildings ? sanitation, drainage and refuse
Design installation requirements for lifts and escalators
Principles of ventilation and air-conditioning of buildings
Active fire protection
Problems involved with integrating mechanical and electrical services into buildings.
