BUILDING SERVICES (BLD 60903 / ARC 2423)
Project 2 - Case Study and Documentation of Building Services Systems
Introduction
Project 2 is a group project to perform a case study on the building services systems installed in a building. A4 bound report with 2 sheets of A2-size summary attached together
Tasks
A group is required to form a total of 6 members.
Under the tutelage of a lecturer, each group is required to choose a building of 5-storey high which can be either public or commercial buildings (i.e. office blocks, institutional buildings, shopping malls, etc.). 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
Each group will need to document their findings accordingly. It is entirely up to the group members on how they want to delegate the tasks to each of their members. The purpose of this assignment is to give a clearer picture of what the students will and have learnt in the classroom and to evaluate their understanding on the systems that they have observed.

Conclusion
Upon completion of this project, I am able to understand and identify the relevant information related to the mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning, fire protection system as well as more specifically the mechanical transportation as I am the person who in charge of it. I am glad that I am now able to understand how building services functions in a building and how these services are able to link and position in different parts of the equipment. Finally, I am also able to gain more understanding and able to explain the principles and systems as well as space implications and regulations related to different building services.
