3.0 Selection Of M&E Systems in Buildings

3.1 Mechanical Ventilation System

Ventilation is important to allow for the exchange of air from the outside and circulation
air within building. The process of changing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality.
For example, to control temperature, replenish oxygen, remove pollutants generated by
breathing, remove odours, smoke, heat and dust. Poor indoor air quality causes 50% of all
illnesses and can lead to a host of health problems for people of all ages. Nowadays, mechanical
ventilation can make it safe to seal unwanted air leaks and install as much insulation as needed.
Ventilation in modern buildings that are in enclosed space and without natural ventilation
requires additional equipment to create air movement. Full mechanical control of air
conditioning and ventilation system are in used. All systems are designed to give comfort to
the users and to keep it more comfortable inside the building than the outside.

3.1.1 Background of System

The air-conditioning system can be classified into the following categories:

i. Split/Window units.
ii. Package units.
iii. Centralised air-conditioning systems.

The split unit consist of the indoor unit and outdoor unit. The indoor unit is installed
inside the area to be cooled and it can be ceiling or wall suspended and comprises the
evaporator or cooling coil and the cooling fan while the outdoor unit is installed outside and
comprises the compressor and condenser. Next, the package units are for higher capacity air-
conditioning loads in the range of 3 to 15 tonnes. It comprises of the filtering, dehumidifying
and cooling as well as air handling components with air-cooled condensers and water-cooled.
Lastly, the centralised system can be direct expansion system or indirect chilled water system
(M F Othman, 2013). This subtopic of mechanical ventilation system focused on an actual
building installed with air-cooled split unit and ceiling cassette air conditioner type are used.

3
3.1.2 Main component of the System

The air-conditioner used in the Segamat Station layout is ceiling cassette split type air
conditioner with wired remote control consists of indoor unit and outdoor unit. The indoor unit
is called air-cooled split unit (ACSU) and the outdoor unit is air-cooled condensing unit
(ACCU).

Figure 3.1: Ceiling cassette split type with remote control.

The indoor component is much lighter and quieter and can be placed depending in the
design. On the indoor component there is always a coarse air filter to protect the coils from
large particles and often there are also fine filters and air purification equipment built in to
remove fine dust, odours and chemical pollutants. It also has evaporator and blower or cooling
fan (International, 2017).

Figure 3.2: Indoor component.

Outdoor components are usually noisier than indoor component. The main components
found at Segamat Station are compressor and condenser unit. It is wall mounted and are placed
outside of the building. It is also connected with the indoor component by the copper pipe.

Compressor Condenser unit

3.1.3 Working Principle of the System

Based on the Segamat Station schematic drawings of the systems in the building, how
the system work is explained. Figure 3.5 below shows the Air-Cooled Split Unit Refrigerant
Schematic on how the air conditioning system working in the building.

Figure 3.6: Air cooled split unit at Segamat Station Surau.

Grilles
 As a cover to allow air to pass in and
out through it.
Filter
 To remove solid contaminants such
as smoke, pollen, dust to ensure
better air quality for the occupants.
Figure 3.7: Ceiling Cassette.

6
  Usually placed on the return air of
the air conditioning system. The air
that contained the contaminants are
trapped here and clean air is then
discharged into the space together
with the cool air.
Expansion valve, blower and evaporator
 Refrigerant passes through the
expansion valve and valve relieves
pressure from the liquid refrigerant
which rapidly cools it. The liquid
refrigerant is quite cold and allows
it to absorb heat from the air.
 As the refrigerant flows, the blower
fan draws hot room air over the
evaporator coil. Refrigerant absorbs
heat from passing air and it warms
up and evaporates.
 When the warm household water
vapour hits the cold evaporator
coils, the water vapour condenses
into liquid form and drips down into
the condensate pan which drains the
water away outdoors (Experts,
2020).
Copper pipe
 Copper pipe runs between the
cassette air conditioner unit and the
outdoor condenser.
 Refrigerant gas runs through these
pipes and transfers the heat from
inside the room to outside.

Figure 3.8: Copper pipe.

7
  It also pumps any excess
condensation in the room away
making an air conditioning unit a
dehumidifier at the same time
(Refrigeration, 2011).
Condenser unit
 After refrigerant absorbs heat from
home’s air, it travels outside via
copper pipe to the condenser unit.
 The low-pressure, warm refrigerant
gas enters the compressor.
 The compressor pressurizes the
refrigerant turning it into a hot,

Figure 3.9: Condensor unit. high-pressure gas.

 The gas leaves compressor and
flows into condenser coils where
the refrigerant releases much of the
heat that was absorbed from the
home.
 The fan on top of the outdoor unit
blows air over the condenser coils
so the refrigerant inside loses heat
(Experts, 2020).

3.1.4 Specification of the System

Based on the site project layouts, all mechanical ventilation system installation shall
comply with Uniform Building by Laws (UBBL) 1984.

UBBL 1984 – Mechanical Ventilation and Air Conditioning

1. Where permanent mechanical ventilation or air-conditioning is intended, the relevant

building by-laws relating to natural ventilation, natural lighting and heights of rooms
may be waived at the discretion of the local authority.

8
 2. Any application for the waiver of the relevant by-laws shall only be considered if in
addition to the permanent air-conditioning system there is provided alternative
approved means of ventilating the air-conditioned enclosure, such that within half an
hour of the air-conditioning system failing, not less than the stipulated volume of fresh
air specified hereinafter shall be introduced into the enclosure during the period when
the air-conditioning system is not functioning.
3. The provisions of the Third Schedule to these By-laws shall apply to buildings which
are mechanically ventilated or air-conditioned.
4. Where permanent mechanical ventilation in respect of lavatories, water closets,
bathrooms or corridors is provided for and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of the Third Schedule to these By-laws, the provisions of these By-laws
relating to natural ventilation and natural lighting shall not apply to such lavatories,
water-closets, bathrooms or corridors.

3.2 Active Fire Protection System

Fire protection systems are very important systems that must be included in buildings.
Active fire protection (AFP) is characterized by items or system, which require a certain
amount of motion and response in order to work, contrary to passive fire protection. AFP
consists of fire detection and fire suppression. Fire protection systems are designed to provide
warning of the outbreak of fire and allow appropriate firefighting action to be taken before the
situation gets out of control. All systems are designed primarily to protect life and property.
Therefore, fire protection system must be specially designed to meet the requirements as
different buildings present a different set of problems that trigger the risk of fire and fire spread.

3.2.1 Background of System

Fire detection system is designed to identify unwanted presence of fire by monitoring

environmental changes associated with combustion. There are two types of fire detection
systems which are manually fire detection system and automatic fire detection system. Fire
detection system is designed to identify unwanted presence of fire by monitoring
environmental changes associated with combustion. Two types of fire detection systems
included are manually fire detection system and automatic fire detection system. While fire

9
suppression system is used in conjunction with fire detection system to increase public safety.
This system is governed by the codes under the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

3.2.2 Main Component of the System

Fire Detection System

Main components of the fire detection system found in the layout of Segamat Statiton
are as follows:

i. Manually fire detection system

Manual fire alarm activation requires human intervention, as distinct from automatic
fire alarm activation such as that provided through the use of heat detectors and smoke
detectors. It consists of alarm bell, break glass and call button.

3.2.3 Working Principle of the System

Fire Detection System
i. Manually fire detection system (based on layout)

When fire occurrence happened, fire will be detected

by the fire detection device, manually break the glass
for call button. If the alarm is triggered, sounders will
operate to warn people in the building that there may
be a fire and to evacuate. Fire department will be
called manually.

Figure 3.13: Manually fire detection system

11
 ii. Automatic fire detection system (based on layout)
Smoke Detector/ Heat Detector
 When fire occurrence happened, fire will be
detected by heat detector or smoke detector
installed in building. If the alarm is triggered,
sounders will operate to warn people in the
building that there may be a fire and to evacuate.
Then will be detected on control panel, and
automatically connected to fire department.

Fire Control Panel

Figure 3.14: Smoke detector marked S
 The control panel is the "brain" of the fire
detection and alarm system. It is responsible for
monitoring the various alarm "input" devices
such as manual and automatic detection
components, and then activating alarm "output"
devices such as horns, bells, warning lights,
emergency telephone diallers and building
Figure 3.15: Fire control panel controls. (Artim, 2019)

Fire Suppression System (based on layout)

Portable Fire Extinguisher
 Portable extinguishers are intended as a first line
defence to cope with fires of limited size.
 Dry powder extinguishers are similar to dry
chemical except that they extinguish the fire by
separating the fuel from the oxygen element or
by removing the heat element of the fire triangle.
 CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide in
Figure 3.16: Dry powder and CO2 liquid form, it is released into the air neutralising
extinguisher the oxygen that the fire is feeding on then later

12
 disables the fire ability to spread. (Wartsila,
2020)

Fixed CO2 System

 A fixed installation designed to displace the
oxygen in the protected space and extinguish the
fire. Usually used to fight fires in engine room
and consists of a series of large CO2 cylinders.
Figure 3.17: Fixed CO2 system
CO2 is supplied from the cylinder manifold to
suitable points with diffusing nozzles. The
discharge valve is located in a locked cabinet.
Opening the cabinet activates an alarm to give
personnel time for evacuation. (Wartsila, 2020)

Hose Reel System

 Fire hose reel system consists of pumps, pipes,
water supply and hose reels located strategically
Figure 3.18: Hose reel system in a building to ensure proper coverage of water
to combat a fire. This system is manually
operated and activated by opening a valve
enabling the water to flow into the hose. (Jensens,
2019)

3.2.4 Specification of the System

Based on site project layouts, all fire protection services installation shall comply with
Uniform Building by Laws (UBBL) and the rules and regulations of Jabatan Bomba dan
Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM). All firefighting installation and appliances shall conform to the
latest local authority requirements and current edition of the following standards:

i. Hydraulic hose reel – MS 1489 Part 1:1999, MS 1447, MS 1488

iii. Fire alarm and detection system - MS 1745
iv. Clean agent system - NFPA 2001
v. Fixed CO2 system – MS 1590 and NFPA 12

13
 All the valves and fitting shall be in accordance with the relevant British Standard (BS) and
shall be approved by the relevant authorities. All pipework, conduit and trunking shall be
painted in different colours to match the building and subject to engineer’s approval.

3.3 Building Transportation System

In modern building, movement system is important system to carry user from place to another
place. There are three type of building transportation system:

 Vertical transportation system (elevator/ lift)

 Horizontal transportation system (moving walkways)
 Inclined transportation systems (escalators).

Each type has its own function and uses. For example, elevator need in high risk building to
keep users easy to move from lower to upper floor. For moving walkways, usually in wide area
of building such as international airport. It became easier to senior citizen and disabled person
to walk away to other places. For escalator, usually in hypermarket, subway station and
shopping mall. Escalator is used as an alternative to the mundane staircase.

3.3.1 Building Transportation Example

i. Elevator (Lift)

In large buildings, an electronic control system that directs the cars to the correct floors
using a so-called "elevator algorithm" (a sophisticated kind of mathematical logic) to
ensure large numbers of people are moved up and down in the quickest, most efficient way
(particularly important in huge, busy skyscrapers at rush hour). Intelligent systems are
programmed to carry many more people upward than downward at the beginning of the
day and the reverse at the end of the day.

Elevator, also called lift, car that moves in a vertical shaft to carry passengers or freight
between the levels of a multi-story building. Most modern elevators are propelled by
electric motors, with the aid of a counterweight, through a system of cables and sheaves
(pulleys). By opening the way to higher buildings, the elevator played a decisive role in
creating the characteristic urban geography of many modern cities.

Lift performance depends on its acceleration, retardation, car speed, speed of door
operation and stability of speed and performance with variations of carload.

14
 ii. Escalator

Escalator or moving staircase used as transportation between floors or levels in subways,

buildings, and other mass pedestrian areas. Modern escalators are usually inclined at 30°,
limited in rise to about 60 feet (18 m), with floor-to-floor rise of about 12 feet (3.5 m). They
are electrically powered, driven by chain and sprocket, and held in the proper plane by two
tracks. As the treads approach the landing, they pass through a comb device; a deflection switch
is actuated to cut off power if an object becomes jammed between the tread and the comb.

The benefits of escalators are many. They have the capacity to move large numbers of people,
and they can be placed in the same physical space as stairs would be. They have no waiting
interval, except during very heavy traffic; they can be used to guide people towards main exits
or special exhibits; and they may be weather proofed for outdoor use.
