Building Services / Portfolio
Building Services is a module introduces students to services that are commonly provided in a building, primarily cold and hot water supply, sewerage disposal and treatment, drainage and storm water management, electrical supply, fire protection systems, mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning systems and mechanical transportation systems.
Besides, students are made familiar with the basic requirements in planning, coordination and installation of these services related to the local Acts and By-Laws of Malaysia.

​Application of Basic Building Services / 01
This individual assignment works on the basic application of building services of four different major types available which include electrical supply, cold water and hot water supply, sewage and sanitary, and stormwater and drainage systems.
From a given building plan, we are assigned to design these systems by complying with Uniform Building By-Laws 1984 and other relevant Acts, Laws or guidelines, and present them in two sheets of A2 presentation boards.
Through this project, students are to demonstrate their understanding of basic principles and application of these services.
Building Services in Public Buildings / 02

Project 2 focuses on the services systems for medium scale buildings involving public use. This group-of-five assignment is to perform a thorough study and analysis on building services systems found in multi-storey buildings. The building services systems consist of the following: i) mechanical ventilation system ii) air-conditioning system, iii) active and passive fire protection system and iv) mechanical transportation system.
​
This project is integrated with the final project for Architectural Design Studio 4. We develop a design from the final Design Studio project and incorporate the systems mentioned above to the building.
​
This group project comes with individual components where each group has to conduct a case study on the systems and include them in the building design of their choice. I was assigned to conduct an analysis on the mechanical transportation system and lastly, we documented all our findings into a comprehensive and informative report.
