For the second project, it is to introduce students to the basic principles, process and equipment of various building services systems found in buildings (experiential learning) and to expose students to the integration of various building services systems in a building. The project allow students to demonstrate their understanding of building services systems and statutory requirements (UBBL). At the same time, it helps to develop students’ understanding and familiarization in applying the correct graphic communications standards (MS1184).

​

In a group of 5-6 members, we are required to choose one of the group member’s design scheme from Semester 4 Design Studio project which is Centre for The Elderly. Each group is to perform a thorough study and analysis of the following services systems 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 (elevator and escalator/ travellator systems)
