Advanced CAD - Architecture is the fourth course offered to students who have chosen the architectural side of the technical drawing curriculum. Students must complete both pre-requisites before registering for the course. You can view the Technology Education course flow chart here for more information.
This course will introduce the students to the most widely used environmental design strategies and techniques available today. Lighting, heating, cooling, energy production and envelope design are highlighted throughout the scope of each class project.
A solid architect will tell you that, at little or no additional cost, most buildings could dramatically lower their energy consumption through proper orientation, building shape, selection and placement of glazing and by incorporating natural heating, cooling, ventilation and daylighting strategies. - Jerry Yudelson
