Use BIM and sustainable design strategies to prepare and evaluate buildings of medium complexity, focusing on the highest professional standards. Create conceptual and detailed energy analysis reports from their BIM models.

(a) Setting up project environments in (BIM). (b) Get acquainted with the graphical user interface of the latest version of Autodesk Revit Architecture. (c) Create basic modelling elements: Covering the following topics; levels, grids, walls, floor, ceiling, roofs, doors, windows, curtain walls, foundation and piling, columns, beams, bracing and truss systems, stairs, ramps and railings. (d) Modifying and creating family geometry in BIM. (e) Creating views, basic legends and schedules. (f) Geometry formation and in-place families. (g) Create family types in the project environment and family editor.

(a) Control the Revit display and plotting environments. (b) Placing views on sheets, create presentation techniques for plans, elevations, sections, callouts of drafting views, 3D isometric, perspective views, animated sun studies, and simple renderings that let you explore materials and lighting. (c) 2D draughting, annotation and component categories, detail component libraries, repeating details, tags, and keynotes. (e) Create views, manage schedules and legends in (BIM). (f) Publishing, populating sheets, working with schedules and document management.

(a) Wall types, working with levels, attaching walls, editing wall shapes. (b) Creating and editing toposurfaces, building pads, regions and sub-regions.

Create conceptual and detailed energy analysis of your BIM models.

Accurately predict construction costs using BIM material takeoff tools.

(a) Arranging the AutoCAD user interface (b) Use AutoCAD hatch, text, dimensioning and annotation functions to suit different viewport scales. (c) Create and plot multiple viewports and mix 2D plan and 3D models views on the same drawing. (d) Create and edit colour dependent plot styles table using line weights and screening, mixing monochrome and colour. (e) Create and edit dynamic blocks (f) Open multiple AutoCAD drawings using the AutoCAD Design Centre and reuse components and setting using drag and drop techniques. (g) Scan raster images into AutoCAD drawings (h) Create and edit drawings (i) Use AutoCAD function keys (j) Use and save the user co-ordinate system to further increase drawing accuracy. (k) Understand linetype global scale factor / object scale (l) Understand how drawings are structured using layers and the purpose of controlling layer visibility. Create layers with meaningful names and assign linotypes, line weights (m) Create block, blocks with attributes and blocks libraries (n) Extract attribute information from drawing into Excel to create a bill of materials. (o) Control the use of layout and sheets (p) Control the AutoCAD display and plotting environments (q) Share data working with other applications Word and Excel. (r) Extract a coordinate list from a survey. Import the coordinate list into Civil 3D, generate a model and export the information in AutoCAD maintaining a real-world scale. (s) Scan an ordnance survey map and scale reference it to real life size using the OS scale bar as reference. (t) Produce two dimensional drawings using A4, A3, A2 and A1 sheet with multiple viewports.

(a) Use spreadsheets to perform numerical analyses, such as listing data and performing calculations on data. (b) Use databases to create, maintain and use list of related information. (c) Extract attribute information from drawing into Excel to create a bill of materials. (d) Share data working with other applications Word and Excel. (e) Create, edit and print a variety of word processing, database and spreadsheet documents. (f) Prepare good quality reports.

(a) Properties of Reinforced Concrete (b) General arrangement drawing (c) Reinforced concrete detailing Foundations Columns & walls Beams Slabs Stairs (d) Bending Schedules and weights of reinforcement
