Course Description
This course focuses on what a building owner needs to know with respect to how certain physical elements of a building may deteriorate and lead to increased risk (such as repair costs, safety-related liability, owner health and discomfort, and property damage), and the types of building system reviews that should be commissioned to mitigate these risks. The course will address investigation types on various building envelope and structural building systems, provide high-level scope for the recommended reviews discussed, and recommend frequencies of investigations of the buildings.
Learning objectives:
- Gain a fundamental understanding of several major systems associated with many types of buildings
- Explain the basics of the mechanisms usually resulting in system deterioration
- Understand how this deterioration affects risk
- Learn what can be done and by whom to determine when and how to maintain these systems to limit ownership risk
