Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in integration of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty systems into overall project design and documentation. Assessment objectives in this division are from five sections: SECTION 1: Integration of Building Materials & Systems Chapter 4 | The Building Architectural Design The "Energy Design Pr ocess" The computer energy simulation pr ovides a method to test the integration of various design solutions to verify that they ar e meeting design goals. Decisions about building form, materials, and systems can be tested and adjusted to impr ove performance.
