BUILDING SERVICES 1
INTRODUCTION
This Building Services module is the first of two to be taught in the course which aims to teach students on the various services of a building. The second module will be taught in the following semester while this one covers services such as drainage system, sewage system, ventilation, cold water supply systems, hot water supply, telecommunication and etc. This module was taught by Ms Lim and we were lucky that her notes was excellent and also made us easier to understand. This module also consists of a group assignment, a mid term test and a final examination.
The objectives of this modules are:
1.)To create awareness and understanding of the principles of building services system in a building.
2. To introduce various building services system that are available and the limitation of the choices – the services considered are primarily cold water supply, hot water supply, storm water management, sewerage disposal and treatment system, telecommunications and ventilation systems.
3. To prepare students to apply their understanding and knowledge for their preparation of the Bills of Quantities and for estimating purposes.
4.)Recognize and interpret drawings related to buildings services and to illustrate services construction in schematic diagrams.
5.) Distinguish and differentiate the installation of various types of services in a building.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
In the group of 5 person, we are required to do a report and also presentation based on the topic that we had chosen in the lecture class. The aim of this report and presentation is to helps our presentation & communication skills, both presenting research on paper and on a presentation slide towards a group of people. There are several topic that we can choose after discussing with our group mate such as
1. Sustainable Wastewater Treatment
2. Energy Efficient Ventilation System
3. Building Integration of Solar Energy
4. Water Treatment for Domestic Water Supplies
5. Ventilation Problem in Heritage Building
6. Energy Efficient in Heritage Building
7. Telecommunication Service for High Rise Building
8. Sustainable Storm-water Management
9. Indoor Environmental Quality in Healthcare/Office
10. The installation of Hot Water Supply for Hotel/Corporate Building
The topic that we had chosen is Building Integration of Solar Energy. Hence, we have to do many researches to understand more about this topic. For example : a case study, the advantage & disadvantages, possible problem of the system and etc.
