BUILDING SERVICES
PROJECT 1 : APPLICATION OF BUILDING SERVICES
SERVICE PLANNING
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is as follows:
1. To develop students understanding and knowledge of building services systems in design and construction.
2. To apply appropriate building services system and solution for a specific design. 3. To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of applicability of specific building services systems in the design in response to practical considerations.
4. To develop students’ ability to resolve issues related to specific building services systems.
Learning Outcomes.
On completion of this assignment, students will be able to:
1. Identify relevant information related to water supply, liquid waste disposal, mechanical air-conditioning, fire safety and vertical transportation system.
2. Describe the planning of building services within the total design and construction process.
3. Describe the installation of building services within the total design and construction process.
Task
This project is related to the students’ studio design project in semester 2 which relates to a domestic size building (i.e. a retreat house, etc.) Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building which include:
i) electrical supply system
ii) cold water and hot water supply system
iii) sewerage and sanitary system
iv) drainage system Therefore students are required to produce appropriate drawings and diagrams which include specifications, symbols, legends, images, texts, etc. to describe the planning and installation of all the building services.
Additionally, students may also include specific clauses from the Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) or other relevant Acts, Laws or guidelines which relate to the proposed systems into their presentation boards.

By completing this project i am able to achieve multiple designated learning outcomes that would further benefit me in my studies and pursue or architecture. Here are the few learning outcomes that I've obtain through finishing this project.
-
Ability to implement suitable building services in building
-
Ability to propose suitable building services without disrupting building aim
-
Ability to comply to the design requirement of the Malaysian Standard and UBBL
-
Ability to produce proper understandable diagrammatic explaination board and presentation board
PROJECT 1 : CASE STUDY AND DOCUMENTATION OF BUILDING SERVICES SYSTEMS
CASE STUDY
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is as follows:
1. To introduce students to the basic principles, process and equipment of various building services systems through real life project (experiential learning). 2. To expose students to the integration of various building services systems in a building.
3. To allow students to demonstrate their understanding of building services systems
4. To develop students’ understanding and familiarity on the drawing conventions and standards for different building services systems
Learning Outcomes.
On completion of this assignment, students will be able to:
1. Identify and understand relevant information related to mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning, and mechanical transportation system as well as fire protection systems.
2. Understand how each building services functions including the connections and position of different parts equipment.
3. Understand and explain the principles and systems as well as space implications and regulations related to different building services.
Task
Under the tutelage of a lecturer, each group is required to choose a building of 5-storey high which can be either public or commercial buildings (i.e. office blocks, institutional buildings, shopping malls, etc.). Each group is to perform a thorough study and analysis of the following services systems associated to the building:
i. mechanical ventilation
ii. air-conditioning system
iii. fire protection system (active and passive fire protection system)
iv. mechanical transportation system
Each group will need to document their findings accordingly. It is entirely up to the group members on how they want to delegate the tasks to each of their members. The purpose of this assignment is to give a clearer picture of what the students will and have learnt in the classroom and to evaluate their understanding on the systems that they have observed. The requirements of the project are as follows:
1. Identify all the required building services components installed in the building
2. Perform a thorough study on all the services systems
i. mechanical ventilation
ii. air-conditioning system
iii. fire protection system (active and passive fire protection system)
iv. mechanical transportation system
3. Obtain estimated dimensions and sizes of the spaces required for all the equipment and plant rooms identified
4. Provide brief explanation on how the building services components function. This explanation shall be in qualitative form and therefore no calculation is required.
5. Summarize the systems in diagrammatic form.
