Study Guide

Objectives

On this course, students delve into the essential information technology systems in buildings and apply their knowledge by designing. Upon completing the course, students can:

• Identify the key information technology systems in buildings and their associated requirements.
• Design and implement a secure and functional data network.
• Plan systems and their installations for commercial properties.
• Consider the digital security of buildings when planning and implementing systems.
• Conduct and report necessary measurements during commissioning.
