Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:00:35
Content
An introduction to building installations, including air conditioning, electricity supplies (both high voltage supplies and low voltage current), the installation of lifts, conveyor belt and loading bay systems is presented. The basics will be dealt with through the stages of concept, pre-design, and design. Criteria for evaluating building systems and their components will be explored. The interrelationship between a building’s functional requirements and the technology available for its realisation, will be discussed. Students also learn how to calculate the necessary area and height, which will be taken up by technical installations, shafts and required empty spaces for such installations, in a building. The pros and cons of centralized or decentralized supply systems will be discussed. Other topics include: coordination and planning of the construction sequences: pre-design through design; less technology through correct design; facades; storage construction. Practical exercises on ‘real life’ building projects will be undertaken.
