The aim of this module is to use BIM to design and manage the whole lifecycle performance of complex high performance buildings. Students will develop team skills through working in design groups, to understand sustainable and resilient design and to generate schematic concepts before developing the best. Students will work with 3D architectural and engineering BIM models using appropriate software to further develop their concepts individually.

The aims of this module are for the student to become familiar with and comprehend the wide range of research methods and skills needed to investigate, understand, communicate and execute a research project.

The aim of the module is to provide students with the fundamental principles of managing a project during the design and construction phases.

The aims of this module are to:

• develop students' understanding of the theories, principles and practice of sustainable design and construction; and
• introduce students to the main requirements, tools, technologies, methods, processes and systems required to develop a sustainable building.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.

The module introduces the processes and principles of low energy and net zero carbon building design and modelling and, also, an overview of assessment methods and standards to specify and measure the performance of buildings.

The aims of this module are to:

• exposes students to cross-disciplinary teamwork focused on integration of sustainable design and construction across a building life cycle;
• integrate sustainable design and construction processes through collaborative practices; and
• information systems to promote an effective provide students with knowledge and skills to implement an integrated sustainability project delivery.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.

The aims of this module are for the student to understand the application of automatic control and smart meters in energy monitoring and commissioning and to examine the control problems in buildings and develop control strategies that will improve thermal comfort and building energy use.

The aim of this module is to develop students' understanding of the principles of design management and techniques for cost and value management.

The aims of the module are to develop students' knowledge of leading contemporary management concepts and innovations and how these contribute to successful construction projects, including the management of risk and construction logistics.

The creation, deployment and use of aggregated and integrated (Level 2) models are key goals of collaboration through BIM. This module aims to deliver hands-on practical skills on the use of BIM technologies (i.e. design software and collaboration tools) for creation and collaboration of federated/aggregated 3D BIM models. Applications of other digital technologies and integration with BIM for construction projects will be explored.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.
