Building Service

PROJECT 1 :

Students are given a building plan to work with. We are expected to demostrate our understanding of building services by proposing and designing appropriate systems for the building which includes:

-electrical supply system

-cold and hot water supply system

-sewage and sanitary system

-storm water and drainage system.

PROJECT 2 :

This assignment is a group project to perform an analysis on building services systems found in multi-storey buildings. Students will be introduced to systems that are used on bigger volume of spaces and variety of users. This exercise requires students to develop a design from their design studio project and incorporating the systems to the building. It is important for the students to understand the mechanism of the systems to produce a comprehensive and informative report.

Each group is required to choose one of the group member's design scheme from Sem 4 Design Studio project, which is Centre for the Elderly. Each group is to perform a thorough study and analysis of the following services systems associated to the building:

-Mechanical ventilation

-Air-conditioning system

-Fire protection (Active and passive)

-Mechanical transportation

LEARNING OUTCOMES

As a conclusion, I've learnt to apply the rules of UBBL into the systems of services in a building as well as how does the building services affect the architectural design and protect the users from danger and accidents.
