BUILDING SERVICES (ARC 2423) 

Project 1 - Case Study and Documentation of Building Services Systems
 

The requirements of the project are as follows: 

 

1. Identify all the required building services components installed in the building 

 

2. Perform a thorough study on all the services systems 

 

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 

 

3. Obtain estimated dimensions and sizes of the spaces required for all the equipment and plant rooms identified 

 

4. Provide brief explanation on how the building services components function. This explanation shall be in 

qualitative form and therefore no calculation is required. 

 

5. Summarize the systems in diagrammatic form.

Project 2 – Application of Building Services 
 

This project is related to the students’ studio design project in semester 2 which relates to a domestic size building (i.e. a retreat house, etc.) Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building which include: 

 

i) electrical supply system (including split unit air-cond) 

ii) cold water and hot water supply system 

iii) sewerage and sanitary system 

iv) drainage system 

 

Therefore students are required to produce appropriate drawings and diagrams which include specifications, symbols, legends, images, texts, etc. to describe the planning and installation of all the building services. Additionally, students may also include specific clauses from the Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) or other relevant Acts, Laws or guidelines which relate to the proposed systems into their presentation boards.
