This process involves i« rating various building systems - such as architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical and HVAC - into a cohesive whole. Q‘\V'\[/ QVAV' The careful selection and use of materials are crucial, as they influence both the aesthetics and functionality of the building. By understanding the interplay between construction techniques, building systems, and materials, architects can ensure that their designs are not only visually compelling but lk!ll[lll!lll[l!l!fl also structurally sound, efficient, and sustainable. I VIATERTALESES: making buildings CONSIRUGHION = Construction is a general term meaning the art and science of forming objects, systems, or organizations. It Involves the use of tools, machinery, and materials to assemble components according to the design details/drawings. © Building Systems are the different parts of a building that combine to create a whole. Different building systems includes Ensures the transformation architectural, structural, civil, electrical, mechanical and HVAC systems, of architectural designs into and much else. functional spaces. = Materials are the different ingredients that buildings can be made of. Balances aesthetics, We need to consider the aesthetics or appearance of materials as well as functionality, and safety. the physical characteristics and properties such as weight, insulation, waterproofing, cost, and how easily it can be used. NYAMERTALSI& building systems CONSTRUGTION Building Systems refer to the various interconnected components and subsystems that come together to form a complete, functioning structure. These systems are essential for ensuring that a building meets its intended purpose, performs effectively, and adheres to safety and regulatory standards. “ Architectural Systems = These systems encompass the design elements that define the appearance and layout of the building. - Components: Include walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and windows, as well as finishes and interior design elements.. Purpose: To create aesthetically pleasing, functional spaces that meet the needs of occupants. NYAMERTALS CONSTNRUGHION building systems = Structural Systems -1 Definition: Systems that provide the structural integrity and support necessary for the building to withstand various loads and forces. - Components: Include beams, columns, trusses, and foundations.. Purpose:To ensure the building’s stability and safety by supporting and distributing loads effectively..*../"f-% "‘1, /&) NS. = = NYAMERTALES (CONSIRUGHION building systems Civil Systems Definition: These systems address site-specific aspects and infrastructure that support the building. Components: Include drainage, grading, pavements, and landscaping. Purpose:To manage water flow, soil stability, and external site conditions, contributing to overall site functionality and environmental sustainability. P bh _ IVIAERTVALES] CONSTRUGHION building systems = Electrical Systems -1 Definition: Systems responsible for delivering and managing electrical power throughout the building. - Components: Include wiring, circuit breakers, outlets, lighting fixtures, and electrical panels.. Purpose: To provide power for lighting, appliances, and other electrical needs, ensuring efficient and safe energy distribution. NYAMERTALS CONSTNRUGHION building systems HVAC Systems = Definition: Systems responsible for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. - Components: Include boilers, air conditioners, ductwork, and ventilation systems. ~ Purpose: To regulate indoor climate, ensuring comfort, air quality, and thermal control. NYAMERTALS CONSTNRUGHION building systems * Mechanical Systems = Definition: Systems that handle various mechanical functions within the building. - Components: Include elevators, escalators, and any other mechanical equipment not covered by HVAC. 1 Purpose:To facilitate vertical transportation and other mechanical processes essential for building operation. NYAMERTALSI& CONSTNRUGHION building systems Additional Systems - Security Systems: Include surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and access control mechanisms. ~ Plumbing Systems: Manage water supply, drainage, and waste removal, including pipes, fixtures, and sewage systems. - Fire Protection Systems: Include sprinklers, fire alarms, and fire-resistant materials to enhance safety in case of fire. DIEERIALS & CONSNRUGHION building systems integration © To create a cohesive, functional building that meets Architectural Structural design goals, regulatory requirements, and user needs, ensuring that these systems work together harmoniously Security is crucial for the overall functionality of the building. 1 By understanding and effectively managing these systems, architects and engineers ensure that the building is safe, efficient, and comfortable for its occupants. ~ This requires careful planning and coordination to address potential conflicts between systems and to Fire Protecl Plumbing achieve efficient performance.
