PROJECT 1  APPLICATION OF BUILDING SERVICES

This project is related to the semester 2 students' studio design project, retreat house where relates to a domestic size building. We are required to demonstrate our understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building with drawings and diagrams which include

i) Electrical supply system

ii) Cold water and hot water supply system

iii) Sewerage and sanitary system

iv) Drainage system

and indicate appropriate specifications, symbols, legends, images, text, etc. to describe the planning and installation of all the building services. In addition, we also need to include specific clauses from Uniform building By-Law 1984 (UBBL) or other relevant Acts, Laws or guidelines which related to the proposed systems into the A2 presentation boards.

Reflection:

Through this project, I able to identify the relevant information related to electricity supply system, cold and hot water supply system, sewerage and sanitary system also the drainage system; While understand the components and function of these services system operate throughout the house. Moreover, I able to indicate appropriate symbol of the components and showing the operation of services system with clear schematic diagrams within the total design of building services planning and constrcution process. Besides, I was introduced to Uniform Buidling By-Laws 1984 (UBBL), Malaysian Standards and Guidelines through this project, where I was now able to considering the location and installation of services system in my design.

PROJECT 2- CASE STUDY AND DOCUMENTATION OF BUILDING SERVICES SYSTEM

This project required us as a group to choose a building within 5-storey high which can be either public or commercial building. Each group need to perform a through study and analysis of the following services system associated to the building:

i) Mechanical ventilation

ii) Air-conditioning system

iii) Fire protection system (active and passive fire protection system)

iv) Mechanical transportation system

​

Reflection:

Through this project, I able to identify the relevant information related to mechanical ventilaton, air-conditioning system, mechanical transportation system and fire protection system; While understand the function of these services system operate throughout the commercial building. Moreover, I able to understandthe connections and position of equipments in different parts. Besides, I understand the principles and systems while study the space implications and regulations related to different building services. Last but not least, I able to understand the implications of By-Laws and regulations in the buidling in Malaysia.
