BUILDING SYSTEMS

BUILDING – is an assemblage that is firmly attached to the


ground and that provides total or nearly total shelter for
machines, processing equipment, performance of human
activities, storage of human procedures, or any combination
of these.

Building Design – process of providing all information


necessary for construction of a building that will meet its
owner’s requirements and also satify public health,
welfare and safety requirements.

Architecture – is the art and science of building


design.
Building Construction – process of assembling
materials to form a building.
• Architects – are persons legally permitted to practice
architecture.

• Engineers – are experts in specific disciplines


and are legally permitted to design parts of
buildings; in some cases, complete building.

• Contractor – are laborers and craftspeople who


builds construction. They signs an agreement , or
contract with the building owner which the
contractor agrees to construct a specific building on
a specified site and the owner agrees to pay for the
materials and services provided.
Building Design Principles:
1. The building should be constructed to serve purposes
specified by the client.
2. The design should be constructable by known techniques and
with available labor and equipment, within an acceptable
time.
3. The building should be capable of withstanding the elements
and normal usage for a period of time specified by the client.
4. Both inside and outside, the building should be visually
pleasing.
5. No part of the building should pose a hazard to the safety or
health of its occupants under normal usage, and the building
should provide for safe evacuation or refuge in emergencies
Building Design Principles:

6. The building should provide the degree of shelter from


the elements and of control of the interior environment–
air, temperature, humidity, light and acoustics– specified
by the client and not less than the minimum required for
safety and health of the occupants.
7. The building should be constructed to minimize adverse
impact on the environment.
8. Operation of the building should consume a minimum of
energy while permitting the structure to serve its
purposes.
9. The sum of costs of construction, operation, maintenance,
repair, and anticipated future alterations should be kept
within the limit specified by the client
The ultimate objective of design is to provide all the
information necessary for the construction of a building. This
objective is achieved by the production of drawings, or
plans, showing what is to be constructed, specifications
stating what materials and equipment are to be incorporated
in the building, and a construction contract between the
client and a contractor.
SYSTEMS DESIGN AND ANALYSIS
Systems design comprises a logical series of steps that leads to the
best decision for a given set of conditions. The procedure requires:

Analysis of a building as a system.

Synthesis, or selection of components, to form a system that


meets specific objectives while subject to constraints, or variables
controllable by designers.

Appraisal of system performance, including comparisons with


alternative systems.

Feedback to analysis and synthesis of information obtained in


system evaluation, to improve the design.
