This document provides course descriptions for a building systems design course. The course will examine building construction from perspectives of life safety, architectural and building service systems, materials and sustainability. It will develop knowledge of building systems and materials. The course will also include a site visit and focus on computer modeling tools. A brief history of building codes is also provided, highlighting key fires and disasters that led to improved regulations. The National Building Code of the Philippines is also introduced.

BUILDING SYSTEM
DESIGN COURSE DESCRIPTION
• Building construction is examined from the standpoints of life safety (including fire safety and zoning constraints on site planning); architectural and building service systems (plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, fire protection); materials, sustainability, and life-cycle analysis; accessibility; technical documentation and outline specification; buildings enclosure systems and interior finish systems. • The lecture course will focus on developing knowledge of building systems, including architectural design building materials and construction techniques, and will foster the skills required to adopt a building systems approach compliant to the National Building Code and its referral codes. The students'’ develop knowledge of building systems will also include understanding of different types and applications of building materials and diverse construction techniques. COURSE DESCRIPTION
• Sustainability principles impact on the property lifecycle, and how these will integrate and apply to skills and knowledge to industry based case studies will also be examined. The course will include one site visit to an operating building in the locality. • The laboratory class will focus on the tools and techniques to create a computer generated building model, and applied tools for working with computer model exploring output and simulation. Students will develop techniques looking at both realistic and schematic and the BRIEF HISTORY OF BUILDING CODES
• The Code of Hammurabi (1800 B.C) is generally recognized as the world’s first building code, although this code was essentially a criminal statute that included capital punishment for shoddy workmanship that resulted in death. The great fires of history including Rome (64 AD), Boston (1631), London (1666), Chicago (1871), Baltimore (1904) and Cleveland Clinic (1929), led to soul-searching and new regulations. • The beginning of modern codes can be traced to the 1897 publication of the NFPA’s National Electrical Code (NEC). (Today, the 2014 NFPA 70: NEC covers the latest requirements on electrical wiring and equipment installation issues, including provisions for the use of connections, voltage markings, conductors and cables). Early attempts to prevent fires -- predecessors of today’s zoning laws and safety codes -- included requirements for wider streets, limitations on building spacing and height, and elimination of thatched roofs and wooden chimneys in cities. BRIEF HISTORY OF BUILDING CODES
• Tragic fires at the MGM Grand in 1980 and the Station Nightclub in 2003 led to more recent requirements for fire protection, including sprinkler systems, exit lighting and limits on explosives and pyrotechnics. • Natural disasters also lead to code improvements. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 resulted in the development of more stringent construction standards. The storm that destroyed South Florida revealed a serious deficiency and led to Florida’s first statewide code system. Seismic code provisions appeared first in Italy and Japan in the early 20th Century and in the United States as an appendix to the Uniform Building Code in 1927. Research programs have increased our understanding of earthquakes over the years, and serious research programs beginning in the 1970s led to code upgrades following the Northridge Earthquake in California in 1994. THE NATIONAL BUILDING CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES • Presidential Decree No. 1096, Otherwise known as “National Building Code of the Philippines” • PD 1096 is also the revision of Republic Act No. 6541 the “An Act to Ordain and Institute a National Building Code of the Philippines” • The formation of PD 1096 is the desire and policy of the Government to avail of and harness the technical expertise and professional know-how of men not only in the public but in the private sectors as well.
