Description
This subject provides an introduction to building services which include electrical, mechanical (HVAC), hydraulics, fire protection and vertical transportation services for medium to large scale, multi-storey buildings. Conventional and alternative systems will be explored with students able to identify, after this subject, the appropriate services to a particular building. Students will be required to undertake investigations of systems and buildings.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Identify the components of conventional engineering systems in buildings, and have the ability to articulate their function, detail their operating process and the discuss the issues involved in their design.
- Evaluate with well developed justification appropriate systems for various building scenarios.
- Estimate the space occupied by building services installations and critically assess where they are best placed in buildings.
- Describe and discuss the life-cycle issues associated with engineering services in buildings; costs, lifespan, energy use and consequent environmental impacts.
- Through critical analysis identify alternative systems for meeting the needs of building users/occupants that are currently met by conventional engineering systems.
