SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE CENBUT1 BUILDING UTILITIES 1 Prepared by: ENGR. DAVES B. GURON A Self-regulated Learning Module ENGR. EDGARDO A. JAVIER A Self-regulated Learning Module 1 BUILDING UTILITIES 1 CENBUT 1 COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course focuses on the environmental systems in buildings. Lecture discussions include building electrical systems, natural and artificial lighting, and building telecommunications. Reducing operational loads and integrating high performance energy systems into buildings offers solutions towards achieving a sustainable and secure energy future. Engineers must understand the interrelationship between a building and its subsystems, and need sufficient knowledge of building systems and design alternatives to recommend appropriate solutions that suit the site, climate, building type, and occupants. They must coordinate the work of the engineering disciplines that carry the sustainability concept forward through building design, construction, commissioning, operation and, ultimately, demolition, recycling and reuse. REQUIREMENT OF THE COURSE: The student is expected to punctually comply with class participation and submission of activities per grading period. At the end of the semester, the students are expected to submit the following requirements; a. Compiled activities of the course b. Evaluation of the course c. Evaluation of the course module d.

Summary of the topics: - Introduction to Electricity - History of Electricity - The Water Analogy - Sample Problems - Typical Power Consumption of Household appliances - Energy Saving Tips “We’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.” —Dr. Carl Sagan (second half of the twentieth century) I. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY Electrical power and its applications so completely pervade our lives that it is hard to imagine that a little over 100 years ago electricity in homes and businesses was a novelty about which architects did not have to concern themselves. As Carl Sagan’s quote implies, today we are fully dependent on electrical power. It is not surprising that the architecture of a building can be significantly affected by the need to supply power to lights and appliances. Specifying appliances and lighting fixtures sometimes requires an understanding of electricity. For example, some lighting fixtures are available in both 277V and 120V versions, and some appliances are available in both 120V and 240V. On what basis does one choose? Some appliances have a poor power factor. What does that mean, and what are the consequences? Should the building use one-phase or three-phase power? What is the difference? Since many fires are caused by electrical failures, understanding electricity is also important for the safety of buildings and their occupants. Electrocution, although rare, can be practically avoided by proper design and specifications. Understanding electricity provides the reader with personal safety as well. And most important of all, buildings must become much more sustainable. Since buildings consume over 70 percent of all electricity in the United States, reducing the A Self-regulated Learning Module 7 consumption of electricity by buildings is of the utmost importance. Thus, for many reasons, it is important to have an understanding of the basic concepts of electricity. II. HISTORY OF ELECTRICITY 600 BCE – Static electricity was known to and described by the ancient Greeks 1600-1700 - Electricity was Rediscovered during Scientific Revolution 1752 - Benjamin Franklin concluded that lightning must be made of electricity, which he proved with his famous kite and key experiment. He also knew that some materials were conductors (his wet kite string) and insulators (a dry silk ribbon by which he held the key). His understanding of electricity allowed him to invent the lightning rod for the purpose of protecting buildings. 1792 – Alessandro Volta invented battery and thereby made available a steady flow (current) of electricity. Thereafter, the discovery of the relationship between magnetism and electricity made the development of electric motors, generators, and transformers possible. Besides Volta, some of the other scientists whose names have been immortalized by their adoption for use as names for electrical units are: Andre Ampere, George Ohm, and Heinrich Hertz End of 1900 - it was discovered that electricity is a stream (current) of electrons flowing from negative to positive charges. 1879 - Thomas Edison perfected the electric lamp all light sources came from open flames that created soot, heat, and often fi re. Many had experimented with electric lighting, but Edison was the first to make it a practical reality. He opened his first direct- current central generating stations in both New York City and London in 1882 1890 - The electric chair was developed because it was considered more humane than hanging. However, it has now been almost completely replaced by lethal injection. Electrocution is actually a high-tech version of burning someone at the stake. In the old days, people were burnt from outside in and now we can burn them from the inside out because electric currents always generate heat. Future of Electricity: The effects of the knowledge and use of electricity were profound. Difficult tasks became easy. Old methods were replaced by new. Electrical machines relieved people of back-breaking labor. Machines could do the job better and cheaper than A Self-regulated Learning Module 8 people. Fears that new inventions and methods would displace workers and create widespread unemployment did not prove true. Instead of loss of jobs, electricity led to new industries and new jobs. The new industries required more people than were replaced by machines. III. THE WATER ANALOGY The fundamental laws of electricity are mathematically complex. But using water as an analogy offers an easy way to gain a basic understanding. The Three Components of Electricity: a. Voltage (V) / Electromotive Force (E) = In it measured in volts (V). It is used to indicate the electrical pressure or force needed to move coulombs of electric charge. The volt is also used to measure a unit of electromotive force (emf). Volt = Pressure that pushes the water through the hose. b. Current / Electron flow (I) = is the rate at which electrons move. It is measure in amps (A). When a coulomb of electrons moves past the spot in 1 second, this amount of current is 1 ampere. One ampere represents 6.25 x 1018 electrons passing a given point in 1 second. Current =Diameter of the hose. The wider it is, the more water will flow through it. The wider the wire, the more electron will flow. c. Resistance (R) = The ease with which electrons move in a material determines its resistance. The unit of measurement for resistance is the ohm (Ω). It means that it takes 1 volt to push 1 ampere of electrons through 1 ohm of resistance. Resistance = Sand in the hose that slows down the water flow. Electricity is like a water Hose A Self-regulated Learning Module 9 Ohm’s Law 𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆 (𝑽) 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 (𝑰) = 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆(𝑹) It states that the current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance Types of Electricity: 1. Direct Current (DC) - the voltage and current remain constant over time. The main application for dc in buildings today is for charging storage batteries for emergency power. Batteries can only generate DC power. A Self-regulated Learning Module 10 2. Alternating Current (AC) - the voltage and current change rhythmically over time. The rhythm is a sine curve because that is the natural outcome from generating electricity with a rotating generator. Almost all electricity used in buildings today is ac because it is so versatile. Its main virtue is that it can be easily changed from one voltage to another by means of a transformer. Electric Power and Electric Energy 1. Electric Power - is like the volume of water that is flowing from the hose, given a specific pressure and diameter. Electric power is measured in watts (W). A watt equals 1 joule of energy per second. 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 (𝑷 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒔) = 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 (𝑰 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒎𝒑) 𝒙 𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆 (𝑽 𝒊𝒏 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒕𝒔) 1 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑡 (𝐾𝑊) = 1000 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑠 1 𝑀𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑡 (𝐾𝑊 ) = 1000 𝐾𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑡 = 1,000,000 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑠 2. Electric Energy - is like measuring the volume of water that has flowed through the hose over a period of time. Electric energy is often confused with electric power but they are two different things – power measures capacity and energy measures delivery. Electric energy is measured in watt hours (wh) but most people are more familiar with the measurement on their electric bills, kilowatt hours (kwh).
