Abstract
The project discusses the distribution and calculations of air outlets
and the duct sizing of a hotel floor restaurant using an air-water central
system. Furthermore, the project discusses protecting the building from
fire with a wet pipe sprinkler fire system.

2.Introduction
In this hotel, we use an air-water system as our main HVAC system, a
hybrid system that combines the benefits of water and air. Air water
systems help to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) by providing
adequate ventilation and filtration, as well as thermal comfort. In
addition, for the protection of the building, wet pipe sprinkler pipe
system was used because it is the most common system in our region
and can easily extinguish fires.
3.HVAC SYSTEM
HVAC system objectives

HVAC system objectives include calculating the cooling load

required in cubic feet per meter for each zone that uses duct systems and
air handling units (AHUs). When selecting air diffuser outlets, the
throw, CFM, and noise criteria required for the zones are taken into
account based on their specific application (restaurant).
In addition, ensure efficient diffuser distribution and using ducts to
connect diffusers to AHU. Also, design ducts using the equal friction
method, keeping the aspect ratio in consideration, and providing the best
possible dimensions to increase duct efficiency, reduce costs, and make
duct shaping easier for workers. Last but not
least, calculating ventilation load and total ventilation are to improve air
quality.

HVAC system design procedures

1. Calculate the cooling load and the required CFM for each space.
For the zones that are conditioned using AHU(s) and duct system:
2. Select an air diffuser outlet (and attach its catalogue to the report).
Based on the NC, the CFM and the throw of the air outlet
catalogue, select and distribute the air outlets on the layout plan.
3. Propose and draw a suitable single line diagram of the supply and
return duct system and allocate the AHU(s).
4. Define the supply duct sections and find the CFM required for
each section.
5. Select the suitable ducts’ diameters for each duct section using
equal friction method.
6. Convert the round duct to the equivalent rectangular ducts’
dimensions If the maximum allowable depth for the suspended
ceiling is 30 inches.
7. Draw (to scale) the double-line diagram, taking into consideration
the design constraints and recommendations.
 8. Calculate the ventilation load (in CFM) required for each space
and the total ventilation CFM required for the AHU(s).

9.Find the AHUs total cooling load in TR

10. Select the suitable drain pipe size for the AHU(s).
4.FIREFIGHTING SYSTEM
Firefighting system objectives

Objectives of Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems

1. Fire Suppression: The primary objective of wet pipe sprinkler
systems is to suppress fires as soon as they ignite. These systems
are designed to minimize fire damage by rapidly delivering water
to the affected area.
2. Life Safety: Wet pipe sprinklers protect human lives by
controlling fires early, allowing occupants to evacuate safely.
3. Property Protection: By extinguishing or controlling fires swiftly,
wet pipe systems help safeguard property, equipment, and valuable
assets.

4. Alarm and Monitoring Systems.
Wet Pipe Sprinkler system design procedures
1. Select the suitable degree of hazard for the building.

2. Distribute the sprinklers on the layout based on the minimum

and maximum allowable distances between sprinklers and
sprinklers or walls.

3. Propose and draw (to scale) a suitable piping network for the
firefighting system and draw the riser diagram.
4. Select the suitable pipe diameter for each section for the
whole building. (using catalogues in appendix B)

5. Find the pressure drop for each pipe section for the longest
pipe path (using HazenWillian Equation).

6. Calculate the total gpm and total pressure drop for the piping
network.
