Building Services [ARC2423]
PROJECT 1
Application of Building Services
The objectives :
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 system in the
design in response to practical considerations
4. To develop students’ understanding and familiarity on the drawing conventions and standards for different building services systems
Learnig outcomes :
1. Propose a complete installation of appropriate building services systems for the students’ own design; cold and hot water supply, sewerage, sanitary and drainage systems as well as electricity supply.
2. Familiarize with the images of different components for each building services system proposed.
3. Produce drawings and diagrams of building services systems which relate to the design.
This project is related to Design Studio 2 by proposing and designing appropriate systems installation for a domestic housing design. The understanding of building services is demonstrated in cold water and hot water supply system, electrical supply system, sewerage system as well as drainage system. Drawings and diagrams of building services systems are produced relating to the design, including specifications, symbols, legends, images and others to describe the installation of all the building services. Additionally, specific clauses in the Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) which related to the proposed are cited
PROJECT 2
Case Study, Analysis and Documentation of Building Services Systems
The objectives of this assignment are 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 :
1. Identify and understand relevant information related to water and electrical supply, sewerage, mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning 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.
