    Building services include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that make buildings comfortable, functional, safe and efficient. An architect's role is to integrate these services into the building design from the start to ensure efficient use of space and compliance with codes. Key considerations for electrical services include load calculations, transformer and panel room placement, cable routing, and panel sizing. Proper dimensioning of electrical rooms like panel board rooms is needed at the initial design stage.

    Building Services

    (An Architect’s Perspective)


    Ar. Smita Rashmi, Ar. Kuldeep Mishra, Ar. Shyamal Mishra
    Lecture -1
    Building services
    • Building services are the systems installed in buildings to make them
    comfortable, functional, efficient and safe.

    • Structure + Services = Building


    Types
    1. Conventional Services –
    - Mechanical Services
    (Fire Services, Transportation e.g. lifts, escalators)
    - Electrical Services
    - Plumbing Services
    2. Advance Services
    - Building Automation (Building Management Systems)
    - Security Services
    - Gas Pipe Line
    What is the role of an architect in building
    services ?
    “Everything which appears on the surface comes in domain of architect & everything which is
    hidden behind the surface comes in the domain of consultant.”
    • Any service installed in building demands some space – architect provides that space.
    • Any service installed in building needs to be located according to its function – architect design
    the building so he can allocate the space and location to service without disturbing the core
    functions of building.
    • Building services are bound to follow various building bylaws, codes and standards – it is the duty
    of architect to fulfil those compliances (at least related to space & location constraints)
    Building services are integral part of building
    design
    • If all required building services are taken into account from the conception stage of building
    design final outcome will be good otherwise after thoughts will appear and not only aesthetics
    will be compromised but also efficiency of building services will be reduced.
