Additional topics include the four- and five-dimensional aspects of Building Information Modeling as they relate to the construction industry. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 112

• SBT 213

•  Quantity Surveying and Estimating II

• Students will investigate complex project case studies. Students analyze architectural, structural engineering, and specialty documents to generate takeoffs for earthwork, concrete, wood, thermal and moisture protection, doors and windows, and finishes, with an emphasis on establishing a clear, task specific process. Students are introduced to Request for Proposals (RFP) and Request for Quotes (RFQ) procedures, as well as electronic takeoff and estimating software. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 113

• SBT 214

•  Biophilic Design

• Biophilic Design is a design philosophy which aims to improve wellbeing through the human experience. Students will examine the principles, elements, practices, and benefits of incorporating biophilic design within our interior and exterior living spaces. Topics include human adaptations to nature, interrelated and integrated settings, emotional attachments to structures, the direct and indirect nature experience, as well as color psychology. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 102

• SBT 218

•  Building Systems and Energy Management

• Students will be familiarized with mechanical and electrical systems in new and existing buildings. The focus is on Part 9 buildings but relevant systems are included for Part 3 buildings, as it pertains to the Energy Step Code. Equipment and appliance rating systems are discussed. Students examine fundamental energy management skills to effectively conduct energy modeling on new and existing buildings, energy conservation measures, financial viability of each option and post-construction performance verification.

•  Renewable Energy Technologies

• Students are provided with a comprehensive overview of alternative energy sources, applications, technologies and strategies. Topics cover the latest developments relating to wind power systems, solar thermal heating and photovoltaic generation, geothermal heating, and electrical production, bio-fuels, waste- to-energy systems, energy storage, fuel cells, and hydroelectric power among others. Economic issues along with financial methodologies and incentives will also be considered. (2,1,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 134

• SBT 251

•  Capstone Project I

• In this final-year project course, students work in small teams to solve challenging real-world problems proposed by community partners and college faculty. Students apply knowledge and skills learned throughout the program to projects that contribute to the economic, environmental, and social well-being of the community. Upon project completion, the capstone project teams will prepare and present to members of the community and faculty an interim report outlining the project findings and its contribution to community sustainability.

• Prerequisite: SBT 125

Term 4

• SBT 226

•  Leadership and Innovation

• Students are asked to draw together the knowledge from other courses and to consider the roles and responsibilities of team members throughout a typical construction project. Topics covered are transformational and value-based leadership, creating conditions open for innovative solutions by all team members. The course is taught partly through role-play in the context of real-life construction projects. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 216

• SBT 230

• Construction Conflicts and Law

• The students examine basic contract law and its application to construction contracts, including the liabilities and responsibilities of all parties to a contract, and ways to avoid and resolve conflicts that often arise for a variety of reasons during construction projects. Topics also include other construction related law such as builder's liens, debt collection, bonding, insurance, and environmental and safety law. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 120

• SBT 234

•  Sustainable Design and Development

• Students perform an advanced investigation into how the design and development procedures of construction projects can be improved to meet Owner Project Requirements (OPRs) and sustainability goals. The students develop their own sustainable design proposals and present these in a format that is suitable for formal review by consultants. The students, drawing experience from pervious courses, also present their sustainable design proposals in a financial format appropriate for developers/owners. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 223

• SBT 238

•  Sustainable Business Case

• Learners are introduced to the fundamentals of business cases and Intellectual Property Law. Learners conduct feasibility studies that review the functional, technical and operational feasibility of a service or product proposed to the construction industry. Learners also conduct an economic analysis of whole life costs, simple paybacks and life cycle assessments in order to assess the financial, environmental, and social impacts of the proposed service or product. (3,0,0)

• Prerequisite: SBT 223

• SBT 244

•  Regenerative Design

• Students explore the fundamentals of ecosystems which promote designs for regeneration. Students are taught the fundamentals of regenerative approaches to sustainable development and design which include place and potential, regenerative capacity, partnering with place, and progressive harmonization. Underlying topics include biomimicry, and biomimetic, restorative and regenerative design and development.

• Prerequisite: SBT 228

• SBT 252

•  Capstone Project II
