DEPARTMENT Environmental Design

 
DESCRIPTION The scope of this study-unit is to introduce students to design aspects which should be considered when integrating building services in buildings.

Specifically, it looks at how and why certain building services cannot be considered as an afterthought in a building but rather should be an integral part, possibly a decisive factor in certain design decisions.

Study-Unit Aims:

The study-unit aims to give a good understanding to students as to what is required in terms of building planning and design for building services to be integrated in buildings in the best possible manner. Specifically, it looks into:

- Architectural Requirements for the Successful Integration of ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ in Buildings;
- Space Planning and Distribution of ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ in Buildings;
- Selecting HVAC Systems for Different Building Projects;
- Planning for Vertical Transportation in Buildings;
- Overview of Plumbing Systems in Buildings;
- Electrical Distribution in Buildings;
- Integration of RES in Buildings; and
- Introduction to Building Integrated Management for ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ in Buildings.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Knowledge & Understanding:
By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to:

- Comprehend how different building services function inside a building, and hence make an informed decision of how different building services can or cannot be integrated successfully in a given building project;
- Consider the building in its entirety, so as treat the provision of building services as an integral part of the design and construction of a building;
- Indicate the specific requirements and typology of building services required for a proposed building; and
- Propose and identify limitations and potential opportunities for the implementation of specific building services requirements in a proposed building.

2. Skills:
By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to:

- Consider the requirements of a specific building design and propose the most appropriate building services typology required for that building; and
- Communicate effectively with both building services engineers and architects, understanding the requirement of both professions within building projects.
