Choose an appropriate building location on a site based on orientation and other site-specific information. Calculate the storm water runoff from a site before and after development. Document the design of a home using 3D architectural design software and construction drawings. Unit 3: Commercial Applications (57 days) Lesson 3.1: Commercial Building Systems Understandings Commercial building systems differ from residential building systems in many significant ways. Codes and building regulations define and constrain all aspects of building design and construction including the structure, site design, utilities, and building usage. Zoning regulations are used to control land use and development. Wall, roof, floor, and framing systems for commercial facilities are chosen based on many factors. Knowledge and Skills It is expected that students will: Identify common commercial wall systems and building materials and differentiate between load-bearing and non-load bearing Identify common commercial building framing systems. Identify applicable building codes and regulations that apply to a given development. Classify a building according to its use, occupancy, and construction type using the International Building Code. Research Land Use regulations to identify zoning designations and allowable uses of property. Comply with specifications, regulations, and codes during a design process. Compare a variety of commercial wall systems and select an appropriate system for a commercial application based on materials, strength, aesthetics, durability, and cost. Compare a variety of commercial low-slope roof systems and select an appropriate system for a given commercial application based on materials, strength, durability, and cost. Identify the pros and cons of the use of a green roof in a commercial building design. Incorporate sustainable building practices, especially a green roof, into the design of a commercial building. Use 3D architectural design software to incorporate revisions for the redesign of a building.
