BICSI -DD215
Applied Intelligent Building Design
DD215: Applied Intelligent Building Design is an intensive, hands-on course focused on the design of structured cabling systems within intelligent buildings. Offering hands-on skill-building activities from day one, this course instructs you in real-world tasks, preparing you for design roles outside of the classroom. Assignments from the Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM), 15th edition, augment your learning, allowing you to prepare questions for the classroom.
DD215 Course Information
The RCDD® sets the benchmark for the ICT industry, and DD215: Applied Intelligent Building Design is an essential course in preparing you to earn that elite designation.
Through the use of case studies, schematic and construction drawings, and real-life scenarios, you will learn to design a modern structured cabling system that supports the multiple technologies used in an intelligent building.
DD215: Applied Intelligent Building Design has been structured to maximize your take-aways from class. Students work together to complete a final group project, allowing immediate application of new knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
Note: The RCDD exam is not included in the course fee. You must apply and register for the exam separately.
Course Highlights:
- Telecommunications pathways and spaces
- Backbone and horizontal distribution systems
- Bonding and grounding (earthing)
- Firestopping
- Telecommunications administration
