Module 2: Sustainable Building Design Strategies (Course code: 79032 – M2)

Duration: 54 hours over 2 months

• Passive Design Simulations

  This course introduces sustainable building practices and standards, and modelling techniques energy and lighting simulation.  Learners will also analyse simulation results against sustainable building standards.

• Sustainable Building Design Strategies

  This course examines the role the built environment can play in mitigating climate change. It looks at how buildings can be more environmentally sustainable through adopting various passive sustainable design strategies to enhance natural ventilation and daylighting. Case studies of green building projects will be examined. The course also introduces the Singapore Green Building Master Plan which lays out the national agenda in greening the built environment.

Module 3: Regulatory Requirements (Course code: 79032 – M3)

Duration: 42 hours over 1.5 months

• Development Control Requirements

  This course equips learners to prepare architectural documentation for statutory submission and approvals. It makes reference to the Singapore Master Plan, Concept and Control Plans; and covers URA’s Development Control Parameters such as plot ratio, gross floor area, district zoning and conservation guidelines.

• Building Plan Requirements

  The course covers the Building Control regulations, permits, CD shelters, TOP and CSC applications via the Corenet X e-submission system. It also covers Technical Department codes and requirements of the various technical agencies such as FSSD, ENV, PUB, LTA and others.  

Module 4: Advanced Digital Design for Sustainable Buildings (Course code: 79032 – M4)

Duration: 39 hours over 1.5 months

• Design Visualization

  The course equips learners with the skills to use modelling programme to produce 3D sketch models for presentation and visualization including the use of plug-ins for photo-realistic lighting effects.

• Building Façade & Performance

  The course introduces the various types of facades such as traditional wall materials, stone and metal cladding and curtain walls.  It covers the materials, finishes and components, specifications, installation, maintenance considerations and good industry practices for the building envelope. The thermal performance of building envelopes and the subsystems which affect the performance of building envelope will also be explored. 

Module 5: Green Building Design Criteria and Green Mark * (Course code: 79032 – M5)

Duration: 28 hours over 0.5 months

• Certification Course in Green Mark Accredited Professional

  Learners will gain an in-depth understanding of BCA’s environmental sustainability legislative framework, underlying performance standards and BCA Green Mark assessment systems.
