Example;
House in a mild climate does not need heating or cooling,
Bulk storage does not need heating in winter, hospital need a supply of medical gas,
Office building need simple cooling device VS high-rise building needs central
cooling systems.

* Buildings other than those used for classrooms follow the space required
for specialty buildings such as laboratories, computer centers and
residences.
Early building design; one room, one window for ventilation and lighting
Modern buildings develops according to the modernization of building M&E systems
(common building geometry figures)
Building Height Vs Space utilization; 7 storey (75ft ~) buildings are considered high-rise
(determined by the reach of firefighters ladder), limit the ability for human to walk up and
down stairs > transportation is needed
Height increases = Less usable space on the floor more floor for stairs, elevators,
structural elements, M/E shafts, etc
Light Pollution
IBMS is an intelligent/smart building system and the system design consists of the
following components :
i. Building automation System
ii.Fire Detection and Alarm System
iii.Public Address System
iv.Security System
SYSTEM BENEFITS
Better Management
improved plant reliability and life
effective response to Ventilation and Air-conditioning
related complaints
save time and money during the maintenance
increased staff productivity
Better Control
good control of internal comfort conditions
possibility of individual room control
effective monitoring and targeting of energy consumption
