Project 2 - Building Services In Public Buildings

Introduction

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.

Objectives

1. To introduce students to the basic principles, process and equipment of various building services systems found in buildings (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 and statutory requirements (UBBL).
4. To develop students’ understanding and familiarization in applying the correct graphic communications. standards (MS1184)
