2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
This course builds upon the foundations laid in the "Construction Information Technology Engineering Project" by expanding into advanced digital design, building data acquisition, and energy analysis workflows. Students begin with visual programming demonstrations using Grasshopper and Ladybug, exploring parametric design and environmental data analysis tools. The focus then shifts to building surveying techniques through laser scanning and mobile-based applications. In the central phase of the course, students work on developing IoT networks tailored to building environments, integrating previously acquired microcontroller knowledge. The final weeks are dedicated to creating building energy models and compiling comprehensive project documentation. The course concludes with an assessment that evaluates both technical skills and project outcomes.
2.2 Learning outcomes
