TYPES OF BUILDING SERVICES:-
Different types of building services are mentioned as under
1. Water Supply
2. Waste management systems
3. HVAC
4. Access and Security
5. Fire Prevention, control and safety
6. Mechanical Transport
7. Communication

1. WATER SUPPLY:-
The uses of water in buildings are as under
 Cleansing and hygiene
 Transportation
 Cooling
 Ornamental
 Recreational
 Protective Uses
 Fire fighting
 Control Circulation
 Use of water for power/electricity generation

PIPES USED
PPRC (polypropylene random Copolymer)

PPRC polypropylene random Copolymer

stands for , can provide very high performance
even under high and low temperatures and
pressure conditions. Heating and hot water
systems used in fresh water polypropylene
random copolymer (pprc) pipes ultra-high
molecular structure due to a high level of use
and durability. Raw material is manufactured
from polypropylene random Copolymer. Plastic
pipe, PPRC pipes in factories to human health,

 Its useful life is 50 years under 25 atm pressure at 20°C. 

 It is suitable to use between -20 °C and +95°C.  (Insulation must be applied by taking
the freezing point of the fluid in the pipe.) 
 It has high resistance against chemical substances. 
 It is corrosion resistant.  Also it is calcification and rust-free. 
 They do not change the color, taste and smell of the water.
 Have smooth and bright internal surfaces. 
 No diameter contraction in the welding points.  Has high welding performance. 
 Provides a saving of 70% in assembly and do not have assembly losses. 
 Maintains heat and sound insulation. 
 Highly fire-proof  (Ref: DIN 19560 and DIN 4102)
  Environment-friendly.

Joints

CPVC (Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride)

. CPVC is produced by adding chlorine to PVC
in a water slurry or fluidized bed chlorination
process. The chlorination reaction is initiated
by ultraviolet light. The chlorinated PVC is
compounded with ingredients necessary for
the desired properties for further processing.
The chlorine added to PVC gives CPVC higher
temperature performance and improved fire
and corrosion resistance.

JOINTS
GI Pipes (Galvanized Iron)
GI Pipes. Galvanized Iron (GI) Pipes are manufactured using mild steel strips of Low
Carbon Steel Coils. ... The GI Pipes are generally used for distribution of treated or raw
water in rural or urban areas. These pipes are cheaper, light weight and easy to handle.

APPLICATION AREAS:
• Water & sewerage.

• Fire fighting installations.

• Plumbing systems.

ADVANTAGES:-
• Low installation and maintenance cost

• Long life

• Toughness

• Anti-rust pipes

• Useful for large construction projects-durable and large diameter

joints
• Screwed joints
• Grooved Joints
• Welded Joints
• Flanged Joints

SS PIPES (STAINLESS STEEL)

Advantages
• Steel pipes are highly efficient, and it is possible to use a smaller diameter of pipe
made from steel than pipes made from other materials.
• The mass flow rate for stainless steel pipes is much higher per diameter than many
other materials. This can save on the cost of the pipes without sacrificing flow rate.
• Steel is strong and will resist damaging factors that can ruin other pipes, such as tree
roots, human error, and extreme weather conditions.
LIGHTNING AND ELECTRICAL:-
Electrical wiring in general refers to insulated conductors used to carry electricity, and
associated devices. This article describes general aspects of electrical wiring as used to
provide power in buildings and structures, commonly referred to as building wiring. This
article is intended to describe common features of electrical wiring that may apply
worldwide. For information regarding specific national electrical codes, refer to the articles
mentioned in the next section. Separate articles cover long-distance electric power
transmission and electric power distribution
Pipes Used:-
Conduit

FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM:-

I. For occupant’s safety first
II. Rising fire incidents has caused direct and indirect losses which calls for reliable
firefighting systems to control them.
III. Building and safety codes and regulations have made mandatory for commercial,
industrial and domestic buildings to have adequate firefighting solution in place to
prevent and suppress fire hazards.
IV. Firefighting has been declared a public responsibility and engineering practice.

Types of Fire Fighting Systems :-

Passive Fire Fighting ( To contain fire)
Passive fire fighting applications include;
Fire and smoke barriers and walls
Fire safe doors and windows
Fire rated floor ceiling, roof ceiling assemblies, fire resistive coverings, structures and fire
stop products etc
Active Fire Fighting ( To suppress fire)
Active fire protection applications include;
Standpipes and hoses
Fire sprinklers
Fire extinguishers
Fire alarms
Monitor, control and suppress fire
Stand Pipe System
An arrangement of piping, valves, hose connections, and allied equipment installed in a
building or structure, with the hose connections located in such a manner that water can be
discharged through attached hose for the purpose of extinguishing a fire, thereby protecting a
building or structure and its contents in addition to protecting the occupants.

CRIMP FITTINGS
PEX crimp fittings are the standard type of fitting used in PEX systems. A large
variety of fittings are available to make PEX-to-PEX connections, as well as
transitions to other pipe materials.

HVAC SYSTEMS
Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning
Function of HVAC:
Control of air temprature
Control of moisture content in the air
Proper air movement
To hold the air contamination within the acceptable limit
Function Of HVAC:
Pipe Used:-
VFR Variable refrigerant flow
Copper Pipes
CCTV:-
Security is a fundamental human requirement. It is a natural instinct to preserve ourselves,
our loved ones and our property from any intrusion or any danger.
Security systems can be divided into two major types, passive systems and active systems.
Passive systems do not include any dedicated hardware for security, but is based mainly on
spatial planning and organization, management and building fabric and construction.
Active security systems employ dedicated hardware that actively detects and controls security
breaches and conditions. Active systems include detection and alarm systems.
Security Planning:
Security planning consists of
Physical Planning
Made up of passive security systems combined with active security system.
Includes hardware as well as what is already physically in place.
Management Planning
Includes the policies in place within the organizations

Pipes Used:-
Ducts
