PROJECT 1: Case Study of Building Services in Buildings


This project concerns the services systems for medium to large scale buildings. This is a group project with individual component where each group has to conduct a case study on existing building of at least 4-storey high to learn about and analyse the following services systems:

1. Water Supply System

2. Electricity Supply System

3. Sewerage, Sanitary and Drainage System

4. Centralized Air-conditioning System

5. Active and Passive Fire Protection System

6. Mechanical Transportation System.

 

Accordingly our group had produced a report on our findings, the buidling we chose is the Pinnacle Sunway which is a 28 floor high office tower. We contacted the technical person to give us a tour around the building to do analysis on the services they have, we have visited the building two times in the process of making the report. It has really opened my eye to the various services which supports the functionality of a building, the building services plays a big part in saving electricity and conserving nature in the best way possible. The planning of spaces in each floor has also a close relationship to the building services presented, there will be technical person in the control room to look out for any dysfuctional services.

PROJECT 2: Application of Buidling Services


In this individual project, we will look into the services systems for domestic size buildings. A few of our previous group's member's semester 2's studio's projects are chosen and my retreat house selected to apply several services systems into the design. The services systems that are proposed are:

1. Cold and Hot Water Supply

2. Sewerage & Sanitary System

3. Drainage System 

4. Electricity Supply and Air-conditioning System

 

I am able to demonstrate my understanding of the basic principles and application of various building services. My awareness on the importance of appropriate planning for building services systems and the impact it may have on my designs has improved.
