INTRODUCTION
What is a building?
A structure that has a roof, walls and other
components and stands permanently in one
place.

What is the purpose/objective of it?

To provide covered space for different uses
such as residence, education, business,
manufacturing ,storage, hospitalization etc.

 Classification of Building
Different classification or types of buildings on basis of the
occupancy are-
Group A – Residential Buildings
Group B – Educational Buildings
Group C – Institutional Buildings
Group D – Assembly Buildings
Group E – Business Buildings
Group F – Mercantile Buildings
Group G – Industrial Buildings
Group H – Storage Buildings
Group I – Hazardous Buildings
Group A – Residential Buildings
 Sleeping accommodation is provided
 Permanently or temporarily dwelling
 With or without cooking or dining or
facilities
 Examples: Apartments, Flats,
Bungalows, Dormitories, Private
houses, Hotels, Hostels, Cottages,
Motels etc.

Group B – Educational Buildings

 Buildings meant for education
 Nursery to the university
 Examples: Schools, Colleges,
Universities, Training institutes etc..
Group C – Institutional Buildings
 Any Building used for the purposes
such as medical, health, recovering
health after illness, physical or
mental disease, care of infants or
aged persons, panel detention etc..
 Normally provide sleeping
accommodation for the occupants.

Group D – Assembly Buildings

 Building where groups of people
assemble or gather for amusement
recreation, social, religious, patriotic
or similar purposes.
 Examples: Theatres, Cinema halls,
Assembly halls, Auditorium,
Exhibition halls, Museums,
Gymnasiums, Restaurants, Places of
worship etc..
Group E – Business Buildings
 Building which is used for purposes
such as transaction of business,
keeping of accounts and records,
dispensaries, and clinics, news
stands, barber shops, banks, city
halls etc..

Group F – Mercantile Buildings

 Building which is used as shops,
stores, market for sale and display of
products or wares either wholesale
or retail.
Group G – Industrial Buildings
 Buildings or structure in which
products are fabricated, assembled
or processed.
 Examples: Laboratories, Assembly
Plants, Laundries, Gas Plants, Power
Plants, Refineries, Diaries etc..

Group H – Storage Buildings

 Buildings Structures which are
primarily used for storage or
sheltering of goods, wares,
merchandise, vehicles or animals.
 Examples: Ware house, Cold
Storages, Depots, Store House,
Truck terminals, Garages etc..
Group I – Hazardous Buildings
 Buildings structures which are used
for the storage, handling,
manufacture of materials which are
liable to burn with extreme rapidity
and prove hazardous to health,
buildings or building contents.
 Buildings used for storages of gases
under high pressure or for storage
and handling high flammable liquids
or explosive materials, explosive s,
fire works etc. are included in this
group.
What are the services?
Building function cannot be limited to provide shelter only
For examples imagine yourself in your dream house or shopping mall
Now take away the lighting, air-conditioning and ventilation, the lifts and
escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management
systems, the security and safety systems…
And you are left with a cold dark, uninhabitable shell.
How will you feel???
What are the services (Cont..)?
Basically BUILDING SERVICES is what that makes a
building come to life i.e; what makes the building work.
Building should be designed in such a way to provide an
environment where people can fell comfortable, work,
live and achieve.
So, everything inside a building which make it safe and
comfortable, comes under the title of Building Services.
A building must do what designed to do – not just
provide shelter but also provide a safe, comfortable &
livable environment.
Building services contribute largely to the sustainability
& functioning of the building.
Building services include:
 Energy Supply – gas & electricity
Building services include:
 Water Supply – supply, drainage & plumbing
 Building services include:
 Heating , ventilating and air conditioning
(HVAC)
Building services include:
 Air conditioning
Building services include:
 Lighting – Day lighting & artificial lighting
Building services include:
 Escalators & Lifts
Building services include:
 Harness solar, wind and biomass energy
Building services include:
 Communications, telephones and IT networks
Building services include:
 Security & alarm systems
Building services include:
 Fire detection &
Protection
Building services are mainly divided into

 Civil System
 Mechanical Systems
 Electrical Systems
 Building Operation Systems
 Civil Systems
 Water Supply: Both hot and cold water should be supplied
for drinking, bathing, cooking etc.
 Drainage : water drainage, sanitary disposal, removal of
waste water from kitchen, bathrooms, sinks, toilet waste,
storm water management and surface runoff to local
sewerage systems
 Plumbing : water distribution, water treatment, sanitary
facilities. storage, distribution (piping), sanitary fixtures
(taps, WC’s, showers etc.)
 Fire Protection : water supply, water sprinklers, fire and
smoke detection, announcement.
 Mechanical Systems
 HVAC Systems : Stands for heating, ventilating and air
conditioning and includes variety of active mechanical
systems to provide thermal control in buildings.
Control of the thermal environment is a key objective for
virtually all occupied buildings. Better thermal comfort
will influence occupant health, satisfaction and
productivity.
 Gas Supply : cooking gas, commercial gas, oxygen &
nitrogen gas in hospitals.
Storage, Piping, Pressure Regulation & Supply of gas from
its container to required area.
 Electrical Systems

 Electrical Power :
Normal, standby, Emergency power supply and distribution.
 Lighting :
Interior, exterior, emergency light.
 Auxiliary :
Telephone, data, audio and video sound.
 Building Operation Systems

 Transportation :
Elevators, escalators, moving walkways, parking etc.
 Processing :
Products, food service etc.
 Automation :
Environmental controls, management, automated
lighting, automated parking etc.
 Importance of Building Services

 Building services are indispensable for buildings.

 As an example, certain types of building such as
departmental store or industrial building are almost 100%
dependent on electrical lighting, ventilating and air-
conditioning.
 High rise buildings are rely on vertical transportation and
high speed pressure for water supply.
 The implementation of services demands of considerable
amount of floor and ceiling so proper planning is
necessary for their allocation.
What is The Role of a Civil Engineer?
• Responsible for the design and planning of the
civil, mechanical and public health systems
required for the safe, comfortable and
environmentally friendly operation of modern
buildings.
• Building should be designed such that it
provides better lighting, comfortable space,
temperature and air quality, convenient power
and communication capability, high quality
sanitation and reliable system for the
protection of life and property.
