What are building services?
Energy ,supply -gas,electricity and
renewable sources
Everything inside a building which makes it safe and comfortable to
be in comes under the title of ‘Building service’.
A building must do what it was designed to do not just provide
shelter but also be an environment where people can live, work and
achieve.
Building Services are “What makes a building come to life”

Importance of building services?
Building services are indispensable for building :
● As an example certain types of building such as
departments store/Industrial buildings are almost 100%
dependent on electrical lighting,ventilating and air conditioning.
● High rise buildings rely on vertical transportation and high
speed pressure for water supply .
● The implementation of services demands a considerable
amount of floor and ceiling so proper planning is necessary
for their allocation.
What is the role of an Architect?
●
Responsible for the design and planning of the
Mechanical,Electrical and Public health systems
required for the safe ,comfortable and environmentally
friendly operation of the modern buildings.
●
Building must be designed with features to provide better
lighting ,comfortable space ,temperature and air
quality,convenient power and communication
capability,high quality sanitation and reliable systems for
the protection of life and property.

●
●
Building must be designed with features to provide better
lighting ,comfortable space ,temperature and humidity and
air quality .
Convenient power and communication capability .
High quality sanitation
Reliable system for the protection of life and property .
High -rise building must rely on high-speed vertical
transportation and high-pressure water for drinking and
cleaning purposes and for protection against fire.
Classification of Mechanical Service System
A mechanical ventilation system is a vital component of the HVAC
system in high-rise buildings. It ensures proper airflow, indoor air
quality, and comfort for occupants by actively exchanging stale
indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Given the complexities of high-rise
structures, mechanical ventilation systems need careful design and
consideration.
Components of mechanical Service System :●

Air Exchange Rates
Positive Pressure

Integration with Building Systems
A ventilation system with jet fans offers numerous advantages over conventional ducted ventilation systems for car parks:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Space saving: the function of complex ductwork in the car park, taking up valuable space which is already restricted, is replaced by jet fans.
Flexible installation: positioning of the jet fans is very flexible and can easily be coordinated with other systems within the car park.
Optimal ventilation: because the jet fans efficiently mix the exhaust fumes with the surrounding air, high local concentrations of toxic gases are prevented.
No dead spots: because jet fans can be placed in parts of the car park with limited ventilation, the build-up of high local concentrations are prevented.
Energy savings: compared with ventilation systems with ductwork, relevant energy savings can be achieved.
Cost savings: during design and installation the (re-)positioning of the jet fans is very flexible.
Smoke control systems are possible.
HVAC / ACMV SYSTEMS
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a crucial role in high-rise buildings
to ensure comfortable indoor environments, maintain air quality, and manage energy efficiency.
Due to the unique challenges posed by high-rise structures, HVAC systems in these buildings need
to be carefully designed and optimized.
Components of HVAC/ ACMV system
Energy source-Electrical power,gas,oil,coal,central steam,central hot water,chilled water ,etc
(location and capacity)
Heating /Cooling -Central air handling ,direct radiation ,in-space unitary equipment ,etc.
Comfort controls-No. Of control zones,humidity,temperature etc.
Heat rejection -Water cooling tower ,air cooled condenser,evaporative cooler etc.
Location of equipment-Central equipment rooms,on floor ,on roof,on ground ,etc.
Ventilation-Outside air requirements(minimum ,high, or 100%)
Exhaust -General ,food preparation ,toxic and special exhaust system etc.
Automation -Building Automation System (BAS), building management system (BMS).

Designing HVAC systems for
high-rise buildings involves a
multidisciplinary approach, including
architects, engineers, and HVAC
specialists.
It's essential to account for the
building's height, usage, location, and
environmental conditions to create a
system that provides comfort,
efficiency, and indoor air quality for
occupants.
SERVICE CORE
It refers to a designated vertical area
within the building that contains essential
utility services, systems, and
infrastructure.
It serves as a centralized hub for various
building functions, ensuring efficient
distribution of services to different floors
and areas.
The service core is typically strategically
located to optimize space usage and
functionality.

BUILDING SECURITY SYSTEM
Designing a comprehensive security
system for a high-rise building
involves multiple layers of protection to
ensure the safety of occupants, assets,
and infrastructure. Here are the key

WATER SUPPLY SERVICE SYSTEM
●
●
A hydropneumatic tank is a type of water storage tank commonly used in buildings,
including high-rise structures, to maintain consistent water pressure throughout the
building's plumbing system. It's a crucial component for ensuring adequate water
supply and pressure on all floors, especially in buildings with multiple levels.
It plays a crucial role in maintaining reliable water supply and pressure in high-rise
buildings. It helps ensure that occupants on upper floors receive adequate water
pressure, regardless of the building's height or water usage patterns. Proper design,
sizing, and maintenance of the hydropneumatic system are essential to its effective
functioning in a high-rise building.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE SYSTEM
Fire Fighting shaft
Introduction: A firefighting shaft provides the fire and rescue service with a safe
area from which to undertake firefighting operations. They link all necessary
floors of a building, providing at least 2 hours of fire resistance to protect fire
crews and are connected to fresh air. A firefighting shaft will typically contain a
firefighting main, stairway, lobby and sometimes a lift.
Fire-fighting shafts should be provided in:
■
Tall buildings more than 18m high.
■
Buildings with deep basements of more than 10m.
■
Commercial, shop, industrial or storage buildings that are more than
7.5m high.
If the building has an automatic sprinkler system, adequate shafts should be fitted
so that every part of every storey (over 18m above access level) is no more than
60m from a fire main outlet. If no sprinkler system is fitted, this distance reduces
to 45m from an outlet which is inside a protected stairway or 60m if it is in a
firefighting shaft.
Provision of firefighting shaft
■
Tall buildings more than 18m high.
■
Buildings with deep basements of more than 10m.
■
Commercial, shop, industrial or storage buildings that are more than
7.5m high.
