CONMGNT 2008 - Digital Design and Construction: Sustainability

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2025

This course will be offered to undergraduate students in year II of the Construction Management program. It aims to equip students with essential knowledge and skills in sustainable building design and management. By exploring strategies, trends, and technologies, students will learn how to improve energy efficiency in buildings and implement both passive and active environmental control systems. The curriculum covers critical topics associated with sustainability in the construction industry such as reviewing sustainability principles, green building rating systems, net-zero energy buildings, and the importance of renewable energy sources in sustainable design. It emphasises the connection between sustainable design and environmental protection. In this course, students will be introduced to environmental assessment tools, waste management techniques, recycling methods, and water management strategies that contribute to the development of sustainable buildings. Additionally, students will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard software such as DesignBuilder, enabling them to apply digital tools in the design and analysis of sustainable construction projects. This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of sustainable construction practices, preparing them to apply these principles and techniques effectively in real-world scenarios.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    This course consists of three distinctive components, as outlined below:

     

    • Online recorded lectures convey critical information and theories essential to the course topics.

     

    • Workshops provide opportunities for students to engage in further depth on the material introduced in the lectures, fostering analytical and problem-solving skills.

     

    • Practicals are hands-on sessions where students learn industry-relevant tools and computer applications, enhancing their technical proficiency.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    Lectures 12 sessions, 2hrs/session 
    Tutorials 11 sessions, 2hrs/session 
    Practicals 11 sessions, 2hrs/session 

    Total 68

    Learning Activities Summary

    No information currently available.

    Specific Course Requirements
    • To facilitate the delivery of ‘workshops’, a flat-floor teaching space is required for 11 weeks, from week 2 until week 12.

    • The Practicals component of this course requires access to the Computer Suite for nine weeks, specifically from week 3 until week 11.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    No information currently available.

    Assessment Related Requirements

    (i) Workshop activities must be conducted within groups.

     

    (ii) There are eight weeks during which students can attend workshops, participate in activities, and submit their answers. The weekly submissions will not be individually graded but will serve as a means of recording attendance for those who attended the sessions. Only the weekly Workshops in the final portfolio will be considered for grading if students have been present in the class and submitted their answers by the given deadline.

    Assessment Detail

    This course introduces four key assessment components to evaluate students’ understanding of the course materials. These assessments are outlined below:

     

    • Quiz 1: This will be an online quiz, accounting for 10% of the overall course grade. It aims to assess students' understanding of materials teaching ‘energy efficiency’ in the construction industry.

     

    • Quiz 2: This will be an online quiz, accounting for 30% of the overall course grade. It aims to assess students' understanding of materials teaching ‘environmental controls’, ‘sustainability principles and practices’, and ‘environmental protection’ in the construction industry.

     

    • Individual BIM assignment: In this assignment, students will apply the theoretical knowledge they learn in this course to develop a net-zero energy building using DesignBuilder software.

     

    • Group assignment: The final group assignment will consist of a portfolio containing all the activities undertaken by each group, effectively documenting the lessons learned throughout each tutorial.
    Submission

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
