About the Diploma in Intelligent Building Technology (JAE Code: T29)
Just as we have smart phones today, so too, do we have smart buildings! These buildings make use of intelligent building technology, such as fingerprint-activated door locks, pre-programmed temperature and lighting settings, wireless remote operation of windows, curtains and household appliances, and power-saving ventilation.
New buildings today, including the integrated resorts and the business and financial centre at Marina Bay with facilities for business, entertainment and recreation, all come with the latest intelligent features. Existing buildings are also continually being retrofitted and upgraded to meet the growing demands of businesses and people, as well as the need to conserve water and energy. It is envisaged that the prevailing growth in the building industry will continue to fuel the demand for intelligent buildings in the retail, office and residential space sectors. Thus, a large pool of professionals with a blend of technical and people skills will be needed to fill new positions in the intelligent building industry.
This course will allow you to tap into this growing trend, by training you to manage intelligent building systems and facilities, including eco-centric designs, advanced systems, intelligent gadgets, IT and project management.
Students will focus on intelligent building systems and facility management, and be equipped with broad design and engineering fundamentals that underpin technological applications like infocomm, automation, security, management and design.
