In this module, we learned about the service systems installed in a building.

 

Project 1 Case Study and Documentation of Building Services Systems

 

Objectives of Project

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 Outcome of this Project On completion of this assignment, students will be able to:

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.

 

In a group of 7, we chose the building, Subang Parade.

 

Our group is to perform a thorough study and analysis of the following services systems associated to the building:

i. water supply system

ii. electrical supply system

iii. sewerage, sanitary & drainage system

iv. mechanical transportation system

v. mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning system

vi. fire protection system

 

We needed 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.
