MODULE 7
Introduction
The objective of architectural design is to create an effective

environmental system. Structural thinking should be introduced at the early
stages in the design process. These will provide buildings and residential
dwellings with mechanical and other environmental subsystems to support
horizontal and vertical movement of men and materials. It also provides
functional heating, ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC) power, water and waste
disposal. In addition, acoustical and lighting needs are often influenced by
structural design.
The requirements for provisions of heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
power, water and waste services can be visualized in the form of a tree diagram.
These services usually originate at a centralized location and trace their way
horizontally and vertically throughout the structure to serve the activity spaces.
The designer should be well versed with heating, ventilating, air
conditioning systems, as well as vertical transportation which include escalators
and elevators.
This module familiarizes you on how to locate the machines, raceways,
wirings, motors, generations and the like in its proper places.

Lesson 1: Draft Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Systems Layout
Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment perform

heating and/or cooling for residential, commercial or industrial buildings. The
HVAC system may also be responsible for providing fresh outdoor air to dilute
interior airborne contaminants such as odors from occupants, volatile organic
4
compounds (VOC’s) emitted from interior furnishings, chemicals used for

cleaning, etc.
Operational Definition of Terms

Adiabatic Saturation is the introduction of water into unsaturated air to
increase its humidity ratio.
Dew Point is the temperature at which an air-water mixture will become
saturated and begin to yield drops of condensed water.
Dry Bulb Temperature is the air-water vapor mixture as measured in the normal
way with a Fahrenheit Thermometer.
Enthalpy is the quantity of British thermal unit per minute in a fluid or gas.
Humidity Ratio is the weight of the actual water vapor in a mixture per pound
of dry air.
Latent Heat is the heat energy required to change the state of a substance.
Relative Humidity is the ratio which indicates the degree of saturation of the
air with water vapor.
Sensible Heat is the heat in British thermal unit absorbed by a substance in
Thermal Conductivity is the amount of heat that flows from one face of a
material to another.
Heat Resistivity is the ability of materials to resist the transfer of heat.
Insulation is a material used to stop the transfer of heat.
R Value is a uniform rating of heat resistance that flows through building
materials. The higher the R number, the greater the resistance to heat
flow.

Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Air conditioning
Air conditioning may be defined as the simultaneous control of air
temperature, humidity, motion and purity of air in a confined space.
Air Conditioning Systems
Air conditioning which is the process of controlling the physical properties
of air, maybe divided into 2 general classes:
1. Air Conditioning for human comfort
2. Process air conditioning
Comfort air conditioning is a modern method of controlling the temperature
and humidity of air in an enclosed space so that it will give comfort to the majority
of the occupants of the space.
6
Process air conditioning is concerned with producing an air condition within

an enclosed space that is most favorable to the manufacturing operation being
conducted in that space.
In general, comfort air-conditioning maybe defined as the simultaneous
and automatic control of temperature humidity, and air motion so that the greatest
feeling of comfort is produced for the largest number of people. Air conditioning
consists of cooling the air, dehumidifying it, and placing the air in motion. Cooling
the air requires refrigeration, while dehumidifying the air requires either
refrigeration or chemical treatment.
How does an Air Conditioner work?

An air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air as it passes over a cold
coil surface. The indoor coil is an air-to-liquid heat exchanger with rows of tubes
that pass the liquid through the coil. Finned surfaces connected to these tubes
increase the overall surface area of the cold surface thereby increasing the heat
transfer characteristics between the air passing over the coil and liquid passing
through the coil. The type of liquid used depends on the system selected. Direct-
expansion (DX) equipment uses refrigerant as the liquid medium. Chilled-water
(CW) can also be used as a liquid medium. When the required temperature of a
chilled water system is near the freezing point, freeze protection is added in the
form of glycols or salts. Regardless of the liquid medium used, the liquid is
delivered to the cooling coil at a cold temperature.
Functions of air conditioning systems are:
1. Cooling and dehumidifying air

2. Heating and humidifying air
3. Cleaning of air (Filtration)
Circulation of Air Conditioning Standards

1. Heating and Humidifying
A relative humidity of 30 to 35 percent is found most satisfactory in winter.
With this proportion a temperature from 70˚to 75˚F (21.1˚-23.9˚) is comfortable.
2. Cooling and Dehumidifying

For summer cooling, temperature of 76˚ to 80˚F (24.4˚C-26.6˚C) and 50
percent relative humidity are frequent design average.
7
3. Air Motion
A gentle motion of air produces a refreshing and stimulating effect. The
velocity should average 15 to 25 ft. per minute measured 36 inches above the
floor.
Upward System of Air Conditioning of Theatre
Here, the advantage

is that there is a
draft air when the
supply air enters
inside which is
inconvenient to the
audience.
This is more
convenient than
upward method
because the supply air
is mixed first to warm
air before reaching the
audience
4. Air Supply
Many codes require about 30 cu. ft. per min. per person. Since the indoor
air is recirculated and reused in air conditioning, a smaller amount of air is
required, 5 to 10 cu. ft. per person is sufficient.

Types of Air Conditioning (AC) systems
Cooling Only Split-System
A split system is a combination of an indoor air handling unit and an

outdoor condensing unit. The indoor air handling unit contains a supply air fan
and an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger (or cooling coil), and the expansion
16
device. The outdoor condensing unit consists of a compressor and a condenser

coil. Split-systems are typically found in residential or small commercial buildings.
These systems have the highest Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of all the
available AC systems. Manufacturers are required to take the EER rating and
provide a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) for use by consumers.
SEER ratings vary widely and range from 10 to 20. The higher the SEER rating,
the more efficient the AC system operates. If heating is required, an alternate
method of heating the interior of the building must be used, usually in the form of
electric or gas heating.
Cooling Only Packaged System
A cooling only packaged system is a single unit combining all the

components described in the split system. Since the unit is a package, it must be
placed outside the building and indoor air is “ducted” from the building to the
packaged system and back through an air distribution system. These units
typically have SEER rating from 10 to 18. If heating is required, an alternate
method of heating the interior of the building must be used, usually in the form of
electric or gas heating.
Heat Pump
Heat pumps are similar to cooling only systems with one exception. A
special valve in the refrigeration piping allows the refrigeration cycle to be
operated in reverse. It cools the indoor air and ejects heat to the outdoors. A heat
pump can also cool the indoor air, but when the valve is reversed, the indoor air
is heated.
Chilled Water System
In a chilled water system, liquid water is pumped throughout the building to

“chilled water coils”. Since the liquid water needs to be at a cold temperature, a
“cooling plant” is required. The plant is typically referred to as a chiller plant.
Vapor compression equipment in the plant, cools the water to a cold temperature
and pump the cold water to air-to-water heat exchangers where needed.
Window Air Conditioners
17
A window air conditioner is typically installed in a window or custom

opening in a wall. The Window AC can only cool small areas and are not
intended to provide cooling to multiple rooms or zones. These air conditioners are
manufactured as cool only or can provide both cooling and heating.
Packaged Terminal Heat Pump
Packaged terminal heat pumps (PTHP) are similar to a window-mounted

air conditioner. These units are typically installed in a sleeve passing through the
outdoor wall of an apartment, hotel, school classroom, etc. PTHPs are completely
self contained and require only an electrical connection in addition to the opening
in the building shell. They use the outdoor air as the heat source in winter and as
a heat sink in summer. They can also provide ventilation air. Flexibility and lower
installed cost are the primary advantages of the PTHP. Disadvantages include in-
room maintenance, higher operating cost, relatively short life, imprecise "on-off"
temperature control, and they can be rather noisy.
Controlling humidity with an AC system
Humidity is becoming more of a concern to building operators and owners.

High indoor humidity leads to mold and mildew growth inside the building. There
are several methods of controlling indoor humidity. The simplest (and most
expensive) method is to connect a humidistat to an electric heater. When the
humidity inside the building rises above the humidistat set point, the heater is
18
turned on. The additional heat causes the air conditioning system to run longer
and remove more moisture.
Comfort requires more than just providing warmth in rainy season or

coolness in summer. True comfort means a correct temperature, correct humidity
or amount of moisture in the air, and clean, fresh, odorless air.

Air Conditioning Equipment and Controls
An air conditioning system has the following equipment and controls
21
22
23
1. Compressors
Compressors used are of two types:
a. Reciprocating is commonly referred to as piston type
b. Centrifugal refers to two rotary type compressors
For up to 100 tons, reciprocating units are used because centrifugal
compressors are not manufactured in these sizes.
2. Condensers
Condensers used for liquefying have three general designs:
a. Air cooled condensers
Air cooled condensers are seldom used for capacities
above 3 tons of refrigeration unless an adequate water
supply is extremely difficult to obtain. The principal
disadvantages of this kind are the high power cost and the
reduction of capacity on hot days.
The conventional air-cooled condenser consists of the
condenser coil, compressor, and condenser fan with motor,
crankcase, heater, controls, service valves and filter drier.
b. Water-Cooled condensers
Water cooled condensers are of three types:
1. Double pipe condenser
Also double-tube type consists of two tubes, one

inside the other. Water is supplied through the
inner tube. The refrigerant is passed through a
tube that encloses the inner tube. Refrigerant flows
in the opposite direction than water.
24
2. Shell and tube condensers – Shell-and-tube
condensers are the largest power version with

a water-cooled condensers with a capacity
from 10 up to 10 000 tons. They work on the
same principle of " Shell-and-Coils, capacitors;
i.e., with water flowing inside the pipes
refrigerant flows outside the tube. You could tell
these types that the water on the side of the
tube condensers, while the refrigerant in the
shell side
3. Shell and coil condensers - Shell-and-Coils,

capacitors
have a welded
or flanged
outer shell
with a coil
inside are
made of
ribbed water
tube. Coil
inside the shell is continuous. Water flows
through pipes of the coil, while the refrigerant
flows above and beyond. The outer surface of
the heat exchanger tubes and fins are in
contact with the refrigerant. This is a vertical
Shell-and-the condenser Coil. This can also be
done in a horizontal position.
Water cooled condensing units are provided

with cooling towers usually located on the roof of the
building
c. Evaporative Condensers
25
This type of condenser makes use of both air and

water for cooling and is available in sizes up to 100 tons or
more. It is applicable in areas where there is a high cost of
water for condenser purposes. However, it uses only 3 to 5
percent of the amount if the condenser is entirely water
cooled.
3. Evaporation and Coolers

A conventional evaporator of an air-conditioning system includes a
evaporator coil, blowers, motors, control and filter.
There are several methods used for cooling in air conditioning:
a. Direct evaporative cooling - (open circuit) is used to lower the
temperature of air by using latent heat of evaporation, changing liquid
water to water vapor. In this process, the energy in the air does not
change. Warm dry air is changed to cool moist air.
b. Indirect evaporative cooling - (closed circuit) is similar to direct
evaporative cooling but uses some type of heat exchanger. The cooled
moist air never comes in direct contact with the conditioned air.
c. Hybrid - Direct and Indirect cooling has been combined with vapor-
compression or absorption air conditioning to increase the overall
efficiency and /or to reduce the temperature below the wet-bulb limit.
4. Air cleaning equipment

Air may contain large quantities of dust, cinders, soot, smoke, fumes,
pollen, grit, bacteria and odor. These contaminating elements in the air are
removed by filtration and by air washing.
Air-conditioning filters are of different types:
a. Dry-filter consists of wire frames or panels, enclosing felt, cotton, batting,
cellulose pockets through which the air is screened.
b. Viscous filters consists of a series of metal deflecting plates or screens
coated with viscous oil coming in contact with these surfaces. The air flow
is abruptly changed in direction and the dust is trapped in the oil film and
remains there.
c. Automatic viscous filters. It is a system consisting of two endless vertical
filter curtains with a denser front curtain and passes downward through an
oil reservoir with the rear curtain catching entrained oil in the air.
d. Electric precipitators. Consists of a positive electric field and negative
grounded tubes which serves to remove from the air the fine dusts, mists,
unburned particles in smoke and other matters which would pass through
the dry and viscous filters.
5. Fans - Fans used in Air-Conditioning are of two tubes:

a. Centrifugal Fans (Radial Type of Fan)
26
The air enters at one side near the axis of the wheel
and is discharged radially through the outlet placed at a
tangent to the wheel.
b. Propeller Fans (Axial Type of Fan)
The air enters at the rear of the fan and emerges at
the front in a line parallel to the axis of rotation.
6. Air Outlets - An important step in efficient space comfort conditioning is the
proper selection of air outlets. This section presents generalized descriptions and
characteristics of the types of grilles, registers and diffusers commonly used in
commercial air distribution applications today.
a. Grilles and Registers - The term grille is commonly
applied to any air outlet or intake that consists of a square or
rectangular face and neck and whose facial appearance is
made up of stationary or adjustable louvers which may be used
to deflect the air. A register is simply a grille which incorporates
an integral damper for air volume control. Supply grilles and
registers usually have adjustable louvers and are available in
single or double deflection models.
b. Linear Bar Grille - The linear bar grille is normally
used where an architectural blend of the grille to its
surroundings is required.
c. Linear Slot Diffuser - Linear slot diffusers incorporate
adjustable pattern controllers in a multi-slot configuration. Slot
sizes are available in ½ in. [13 mm], ¾ in. [19 mm] or 1 in. [25
mm] widths with a choice of one to ten slots. Adjustable pattern
controllers allow horizontal left, horizontal right or vertical
discharge for maximum flexibility.
d. Round Ceiling Diffuser - Round ceiling diffusers
consist of several concentric cones suspended below the
ceiling line by an outer cone.
e. Square Ceiling Diffuser - Square ceiling diffusers
consist of several concentric square cones and a round neck.
f. Louver Face Diffuser - Louver face diffusers are
available with a square or rectangular face composed of a fixed
modular core.
g. Round Plaque Diffuser - Round plaque diffusers
consist of a plaque mounted inside an outer frame with a round
inlet.
h. Square Plaque Diffusers - Square plaque diffusers
are comprised of a square plaque situated in a backpan with a
round inlet.
i. Perforated Ceiling Diffuser - Perforated ceiling
diffusers are available with a square or rectangular face supplied
through a round or square neck.
27
j. Radial/Twist Diffusers - Radial/twist diffusers consist

of a circular or square face with multiple air vanes, either fixed or
adjustable, and a round neck.
k. Plenum Slot Diffuser - These diffusers consist of a
factory fabricated plenum with integral pattern controllers for
vertical or horizontal air pattern adjustment.
l. Light Troffer Diffuser - Light troffer diffusers are
designed to integrate with commercially available light fixtures in
suspended ceiling systems.

HVAC Conventions
Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment is drawn on floor plans

using symbols. They show the location and tube of equipment, movement of hot
and cool air and water. The location of horizontal ducts is shown by outlining the
31
position of the duct. The flow of air through the ducts is indicated by an arrow. Air
flow coming from the heating-cooling unit is shown by an arrow pointing out from
the diffusers. Return air is indicated by an arrow pointing into the duct.
Climate Control Methods and Heat Transfer
Heat is transferred from a warm to a cool surface by:
1. Radiation is the heat that flows to a cooler surface through space in the
same manner light travels.
2. Convection is a warm surface that heats the air, the warm air rises and
cool air moves in to take its place causing a convection current
3. Conduction is the heat that moves through a solid material, the denser
the material the better it will conduct heat.
Heat loss or gain is the amount of heat that passes through the exterior
surface of a building. Thermal conductivity is the amount of heat that flows from
one face of a material, through the material, and to the opposite face. It is defined
also as the amount of heat transfer through a 1-Sq.Foot area, 1 inch thick with a
temperature difference of 1 degree Fahrenheit.
The unit of measurement for heat is Btu (British thermal unit) which is the
unit of heat needed to raise the temperature on 1 pound of water 1 degree
Fahrenheit.
32
Resistivity is the ability of materials to resist the transfer of heat while

insulation is the material used to stop the transfer of heat, block moisture, stop
sound, resist fire and resist insects.
Some kinds of insulating materials are:
1. Flexible Bat
2. Flexible Blanket
3. Loose Fill Reflective Material
4. Rigid Board
5. Additives
6. Spray on
7. Corrugated Paper
8. Surface Air Film
Conventional Heating Systems
The two most efficient types of heating systems are:
1. Perimeter heating refers to the heat outlets that are located on the outside
walls of the rooms.
2. Radiant heating functions by heating an area of the wall, ceiling or floor.

Lesson 2: Draft Mechanical Details of Conveyor Systems
A conveyor system is often the lifeline to a company’s ability to effectively
move its product in a timely fashion. The steps that a company can take to
ensure that it performs at peak capacity, include regular inspections, close
monitoring of motors and reducers, keeping key parts in stock, and proper
training of personnel.
Increasing the service life of your conveyor system involves: choosing the
right conveyor type, the right system design and paying attention to regular
maintenance practices.
A conveyor system that is designed properly will last a long time with
proper maintenance. Here are six of the biggest problems to watch for in
38
overhead type conveyor systems including I-beam monorails, enclosed track
conveyors and power and free conveyors.

Escalators, Conveyors, and Elevators
An escalator is a moving stairway, thus it is sometimes called a moving

stairway or an electric stairway. There are two classes of escalators available –
the 32 inches and 48 inches. The normal speed is 90 Ft/Min. (FPM) the 120 FPM
speed is used for express escalators. Angle of inclination is normally 30˚.
Components of an Escalator Installation
42
The major components of an escalator installation are:

a. Truss is a welded steel frame which supports the moving stairway
equipment.
b. Track refers to steel angles attached to the truss on which the step rollers
are guided, thus controlling the motion of the steps.
c. Controller consists of contactors, relay and a circuit breaker.
d. Sprocket Assemblies, Chains and Machine provide the motive power
for the unit.
e. Handrail is driven by two sheaves and is powdered from the top sprocket
assembly.
f. The balustrade assembly.
Arrangements of Escalators
43
There are generally two types of arrangements employed in an escalators

design.
a. Parallel Arrangement
b. Crisscross Arrangement
The crisscross arrangement is generally favored because of lower cost,

minimum floor space occupied and lower structural requirement.
Moving Walks and Ramps
Moving walks and ramps are different from moving stairways. While
moving stairways(Escalators) have the primary function of moving a large
number of people vertically, moving walk or ramp serves a dual function, that is,
horizontal transportation only, or a combined function of horizontal and vertical
transportation not only of people but also of wheeled vehicles and large parcels.
By definition, a moving walk is one with an inclination not exceeding 5

degrees, where the principal function is horizontal motion and inclined motion is
incidental to the horizontal.
A moving ramp is a device with an inclination limited to 15 degrees where

vertical motion is as important, or more so, than the horizontal component.
Elevators
An elevator or lift (in British English) is a vertical transport vehicle that
efficiently moves people or goods between floors of a building. They are
generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables and
counterweight systems, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston.
Lifts began as simple rope or chain hoists. A lift is essentially a platform

that is either pulled or pushed up by a mechanical means. A modern day lift
consists of a cab (also called a "cage" or "car") mounted on a platform within an
enclosed space called a shaft or sometimes a "hoist way". In the past, lift drive
mechanisms were powered by steam and water hydraulic pistons. In a "traction"
lift, cars are pulled up by means of rolling steel ropes over a deeply grooved
pulley, commonly called a sheave in the industry. The weight of the car is
balanced with a counterweight. Sometimes two lifts always move synchronously
in opposite directions, and they are each other's counterweight. The friction
between the ropes and the pulley furnishes the traction which gives this type of
lift its name.

Passenger Elevators
Passenger elevators are used to carry passenger traffic in buildings where
several peak periods occur each day. Residential elevators may be small enough
to only accommodate one person while some are large enough for more than a
dozen. Wheelchair, or platform lifts, a specialized type of elevator designed to
move a wheelchair 6 ft (1.8 m) or less, often can accommodate just one person in
a wheelchair at a time with a load of 1000 lb (455 kg).
The elements of an electrical elevator installation are:
1. Hoistway is the shaft or vertical passageway for the travel of the car and
its counterweights.
2. Elevator Car is a cage of light metal supported on a structural frame to the
top member of which the cables are fastened. The car is fixed on its
vertical travel in the shaft by means of rail shoes on the guide rails.
3. Cables which lift the car usually 3 to 8 in number are placed in parallel, the
weight of the car is being equally distributed over the cables which are
fastened to the top of the car by cables sockets.
4. Elevator Machine turns the sheave and thus lifts or lowers the car. In
most modern installations, the electric driving motor receives its energy
from a separate motor- generator set.
5. Machine Room is the place where the elevators machine is housed,
usually directly above the elevator shaft or hoistway.
6. Counterweights are rectangular blocks of cast iron stacked in one frame
which is supported at the opposite ends of the cables to which the car is
fastened.
7. Guide Rails are the vertical tracks that guide the car and its counter
weight.
8. Control Equipment is a combination of push buttons contacts, relays,
cams and devices which are operated manually or automatically to initiate
door opening, starting, acceleration, leveling and stopping of the car.
9. Safety Devices include:
a. Main Brake is mounted directly on the shaft of the elevator
machine.
b. Safety System is controlled by the speed governor mounted on or
near the elevator machine.
c. Electrical Final Limit Switches de-energize the traction motor and
set the main brake if the car over travels.
d. Oil or Spring Buffers are always placed in the elevators pit. Their
purpose is not to stop a falling car but to bring it to a partially
cushioned stop if it over travels the lower terminal.
45
Elevators Machines
Two types of elevator machines
a. Gearless Traction Machine
b. Geared Traction Machine.
Systems of Elevator Operation and Supervision

There are three systems of operation involved with elevators. These are:
a. Single Automatic Push Button Control. This is the simplest since it
handles only one call at a time, providing for an uninterrupted trip for each
call.
b. Collective Control. It is arranged to collect all waiting “up” calls on the trip
up and all waiting “Down” calls on the trip down, the control system “store”
all calls until they are answered and automatically reverses the direction of
travel at the highest and lowest calls.
c. Electronic Group Supervisory Dispatching and Control. Under this
system, the entire group or bank of cars in a given group of elevators is in
automatic operation at peak periods; and automatically shuts down
successively as the number of car passengers become very low and
electronic control system performs all commands, thus no operator is
needed.
Kinds of Elevators
There are different kinds of elevations as to their purpose these are:
1. Freight Elevators. They are of two types.
a. General Purpose Freight Elevator
b. Light Duty Freight Elevators
c. Sidewalk Elevators
2. Dumbwaiters – they are small freight for the transport of relatively small
articles between levels.
3. Plunger Elevators. These are oil – hydraulic elevators which are raised
and lowered by means of a movable rod rigidly fixed at the bottom of the
car. The system is hydraulic and operates the same as a hydraulic jack

Lesson 3. Draft Fire Protection Systems

An objective conceptual planning is to create an environment in which the
user can be as safe as possible. Many of the accidents that frequently occur in
homes, schools, offices and elsewhere are due to the facility design and to user
errors. Safety considerations applicable to all architectural systems must be
considered such as fire protection and alarm system. The provision of fire
sprinkler and alarm as embodied in the National Building Code and Fire Code of
the Philippines should be implemented.

Building Classifications
Building code requirements vary as to such factors as type of occupancy,
building contents, type of construction, location and fire extinguishing system.
The code permits “trade offs” between these classifications with the goal of
obtaining public safety as can.
Classification by Occupancy
1. Assembly
2. Educational
3. Institutional
4. Residential
5. Mercantile
6. Offices
7. Industrial
8. Storage
Classification by Content
1. Ordinary Hazard Content
2. Extra Hazard Content
3. Light Hazard Content
Classification by construction type

Type I – Fire resistive construction
Type II – Heavy timber construction
Type III – Non combustible construction
Type IV – Ordinary construction
Type V – Wood frame construction
Classification by location
Buildings constructed in closely packed communities are threat to the
general public than buildings located in an open area. Thereof, building codes
establish fire limits or fire zones within the limits of a fire zone. All buildings must
be designed so that a fire will remain contained.
52
Fire Extinguishing System

Building codes often require automatic water-sprinkler systems, for they
give excellent fire protection in all types of buildings.
A sprinkler system consists of a network of piping placed under the ceiling.

It is provided with a number of nozzles called sprinklers when activated, the
sprinklers spray water in a hemispherical pattern.
Types of Sprinkler Systems

1. Fixed Temperature System is classified into two kinds:
a. Wet Pipe refers to when water is stored in the piping
b. Dry Pipe refers to when no water is in the pipe
2. Rate-of-Rise Sprinkler System. Detectors open valves upon any abnormal
increase of temperature. It is also classified as:
a. Deluge System is used for extra hazard condition
b. Pre – Action System is used to reduce the possibility of accidental
water damage
Sprinkler Layout
The layout of a sprinkler system is classified into three types:
1. Light hazard is where protection area per sprinkler does not exceed 200
sq.ft.
2. Ordinary hazard is where protection area per sprinkler does not exceed
130 sq. ft.
3. Extra hazard is where protection area per sprinkler does not exceed 90
sq.ft.
Standpipes are vertical water pipes with fire-hose outlets at each floor.
They are located so that any fire can be reached by a stream from not more 75’
of small hose or 100’ of large hose.
