Building Systems

This document discusses building systems and their integration into architectural design. It begins with an overview of common building systems like electrical, HVAC, security, lighting, telecom and energy management. It emphasizes that building systems depend on each other and notes reasons why architects need to understand building systems, like providing comfort, health and productivity. The document then covers specific aspects of integrating building systems into design like floor heights, equipment rooms and building components. It discusses parameters that affect design like codes and user needs. It advocates an integrated design approach using interdisciplinary teams and modeling programs. Finally, it provides an application study assignment to design a cafeteria with specific requirements.

BUILDING SYSTEMS
Building systems are the critical systems of your facility, such as the
• Electrical,
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning),
• Security, Life Safety,
• Lighting,
• Telecom,
• and Energy Management.

These systems are rarely, if ever, independent entities; rather, they depend on each other to
operate. For example, most building systems rely on the building's base electrical service for power;
and computer systems often need supplemental cooling to operate properly.

All building systems are typically designed, installed, managed, maintained and supported by their
own team of domain of experts. They are often evaluated and controlled both as an independent
system and as a part of a larger system and the whole building.

INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH

• Inter-disciplinary work between architects, engineers, costing specialists, operations people and
other relevant actors right from the beginning of the design process;
• discussion of the relative importance of various performance issues and the establishment of a
consensus on this matter between client and designers;
• budget restrictions applied at the whole-building level, with no strict separation of budgets for
individual building systems, such as HVAC or the building structure. This reflects the experience that
extra expenditures for one system, e.g. for sun shading devices, may reduce costs in another
systems, e.g. capital and operating costs for a cooling system;
• the addition of a specialist in the field of energy engineering and energy simulation;
• testing of various design assumptions through the use of energy simulations throughout the
process, to provide relatively objective information on this key aspect of performance;
• the addition of subject specialists (e.g. for daylighting, thermal storage, comfort, materials
selection etc.) for short consultations with the design team;
• clear articulation of performance targets and strategies, to be updated throughout the process
by the design team

APPLICATION STUDIES

Design a two-storey Cafeteria (or you can find a cafeteria design), which has approximately
120 m² seating area + reading/working area
60 m² kitchen
25 m² services (Storage, WCs)
45 m² technical area

Location: anywhere (real or fictional) in a determined city in Turkey, but consider surroundings
(buildings, roads, natural elements, etc.).

For the application studies next week, you should have


1/500 site plan (show surroundings, north and indicate the city)
1/100 plan(s)
1/100 elevations
3d model (optional)
