This project was to introduce the basic principles, process and equipment of various building servies systems through experiential learning, a real life project. It was to expose the students to the integration of various building services system in a building of 4-storey high or more and allow them to develop understanding on the drawing conventions and standards for different building services systems.

groupwork site visit & report The building we worked on was the 62-storey Vista Tower @ Intermark K.L. It was an office building integrated within The Intermark. Our site visit included a detailed interview with the M&E Engineer, Mr Tan Kiat Wei.
individual thermal control To produce this report, we had several topics we needed to cover such as fire, air-conditioning, water supply, sewarage and electricity. The topic I had to handle was thermal control, which included air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation. The tower uses centralised air-conditioning system and my report covers its system from start to finish.

This project was related to the final studio design project of the previous semester. We were to demonstrate their understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building. We were also required to produce appropriate drawings and diagrams which include specifications, symbols, dimensions, legends, etc. to describe the installation of all the building services. Additionally, all the solutions have to be supplemented with schedules and specifications of the proposed systems.

In this project, I used my Semester 2 final design project. It was a retreat single story house in Cameron Highlands. I had to propose my understanding and desig of building services by producing appropriate drawings of each service. On top of this, I used MS 1525 as well as UBBL by-laws to support my proposal. above: floorplan right: side section

Through this project, I learned to identify and understand relevant information related to the topics of building services; water supply, sewerage, mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning, electricity and fire protective systems. Since we had to divide the services among the group members, I eventually learned mostly on how my topic’s system functions including the connections as well as the position of the different equipments. On top of this, this project helped teach on how to explain the principles, systems and space implications of each service.
This project basically enabled me to propose and apply my understanding about the installation of all the 5 building services topics from the first project onto my design with the help of tutorials and research. Compared to project one, I understood the programme of all the services from how it functions to its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and constraints in relation to the design.
