Course Description

Surveys building systems as they pertain to interior design remodeling and construction. Covers mechanical systems of residential and light commercial interiors. Emphasizes environmental concerns and sustainable building practices. Covers building codes as they pertain to interior remodeling. Prerequisites: WR 115, RD 115 and MTH 20 or equivalent placement test scores.

Intended Outcomes for the course

Upon completion of the course students should be able to:

  1. Create interior design remodeling solutions that are compliant with national, state and local building codes.
  2. Create design solutions with sustainable building criteria from schematic design to construction.
  3. Apply best practices of building systems in interior design.

Aspirational Goals

Interior designers must be knowledgeable about current buildings systems and the impact  these systems have on interior design remodeling projects.  Those same designers must understand national, state and local residential building codes.  This course seeks to give students of interior design a deep understanding of building system integration.
