Modular Design & Construction – A Better Way to Build
DescriptionThis course is designed to educate the Architectural Community to the potential advantages gained through the use of permanent modular construction (PMC) to all project stakeholders. Course includes an overview of Permanent Modular Construction, building manufacturing and structural requirements.
Learning Objective 1: Explain the time, economic, and sustainability benefits for permanent modular construction
Learning Objective 2: Compare the best applications for Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) in Commercial Building Projects specifically focused on design considerations, Code review and construction methods.
Learning Objective 3: Analyze design considerations in commercial building construction using PMC including sustainable materials and methods, safety, off-site building methods and energy efficiency.
Learning Objective 4: Discuss the Architect’s role in the successful implementation of a PMC project. Provide three commercial building case studies in Texas.
