Applied Intelligent Building Design

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.

Please 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
• Outside Plant (OSP) and campus cabling
• Specialty systems

• ICT designers with at least two years of on-the-job experience in low-voltage cabling systems
• Professionals responsible for designing Intelligent Buildings (e.g., security, AV, mechanical, lighting)
• Individuals preparing to take the RCDD exam
• Individuals looking for a review of telecommunications distribution systems

The DD215: Applied Intelligent Building Design course is designed for those who have a minimum of two years of experience in the design and specifications of cabling infrastructure systems.

If you do not meet these requirements, BICSI strongly recommends that you complete the DD101: Foundations of Telecommunications Distribution Design course prior to enrolling in DD215: Applied Intelligent Building Design.
