I. BUILDING SYSTEM SERVICE
A building service system refers to the integrated systems that are installed in buildings to
ensure they are comfortable, safe, and functional for occupants. These systems include;
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) for controlling temperature and air
quality.
- Plumbing systems in buildings supply water from underground tanks fed by municipal lines
through a distribution system of pipes to outlets.
- Electrical systems provide lighting and power, while fire safety systems include alarms and
sprinklers for protection.
- Fire protection systems are standard building features that either actively or passively help to
control the amount of damage that can occur to a building and protect its occupants in the event
of a fire.
Additionally, elevators and escalators are part of the system for easy movement within multi-story
buildings. These systems work together to maintain a well-functioning and livable environment in any
building.

II. TYPES OF BUILDING SYSTEM SERVICE
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) also known as the Mechanical System of a
building provides indoor environmental comfort to occupants by maintaining thermal comfort and
acceptable indoor air quality.
6
1.2 Types of Service Applied to the Building
HVAC services include construction, installation, and servicing of heating, cooling, and ventilation
systems and equipment.
HVAC maintenance
These are just a handful of routine HVAC
maintenance actions that will extend the life of
your heating and cooling system and cut down
on expensive repairs.
HVAC repair
An HVAC repair call is when a technician comes
to your home to troubleshoot, diagnose, and
repair a problem with your system.
Poor Airflow
● Dirty Filter- will block airflow and cause your furnace to
work harder to maintain an ideal temperature
● Dirty Ductwork- When there is dirt, dust, and grime in your
ductwork, it can spread all through the home which reduces
air quality

2. PLUMBING SYSTEM
Plumbing System installed in a building for the distribution and use of potable (drinkable)
water and the removal of waterborne wastes. It is usually distinguished from water and sewage systems
that serve a group of buildings or a city.
Water Flow Meter- measures the total volume of water passing through a pipe
over a given period. It is typically used for billing purposes or to track overall
consumption.
8
Potable plumbing systems
Clogged drain- If the clog is localized to one specific area, it’s probably an
issue with one specific drain. If multiple drains are backed up, you could be
dealing with a larger clog in the main line.
Pipe bursts- are a sudden rupture in your plumbing, which can lead to severe
water damage as water rapidly escapes and wreaks havoc behind walls, under
fixtures, and out into your living spaces
Low Water Pressure- If the water pressure is low at individual fixtures like
faucets and showerheads, clean or replace the aerators to remove mineral
deposits and debris that may be obstructing the flow.

III. LIGHTING
1. NATURAL LIGHTING
Natural lighting, which is derived from sunlight,
is a critical element in building design due to its
energy efficiency and impact on occupant
comfort. It enters buildings through various
architectural features such as windows, skylights,
and other openings,offering numerous
advantages.
2. ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
Artificial lighting refers to light produced by
electrical fixtures like light bulbs, LEDs, and
fluorescent lamps. This type of lighting is
essential for providing consistent and controlled
illumination regardless of the time of day or
weather conditions. Unlike natural lighting,
artificial lighting offers the ability to create a
predictable and adjustable light environment at
any moment.
16
3.2. TYPES OF LIGHTING
17
3.3. LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEMS
are technologies that manage and regulate the lighting in a building or space. They allow users
to control the brightness, color, and timing of lights, often with the goal of improving energy efficiency,
convenience, and ambiance. These systems can range from simple manual switches to advanced
automated systems.

IV. VERTICAL COMPONENT SYSTEMS
Vertical Component Systems are construction and design frameworks used in architecture and
engineering. They refer to systems where the primary load-bearing or structural components are
vertically aligned, ensuring stability and efficiency. These systems are crucial for distributing weight
evenly across a building's structure, particularly in multi-story buildings or high-rises.
TYPES OF ELEVATORS
1. Passenger Elevator
- It is designed to transport people between different
building floors. Commonly found in residential,
commercial, and public buildings, providing a
convenient and safe way for people to move
vertically within the structure.
2. Freight Elevator
- Designed to carry heavy loads, goods, or
equipment rather than passengers. Used in
industrial buildings, warehouses, factories, and
commercial spaces where large or bulky items
must be transported between floors.
3. Service Elevator
- Used primarily by staff or workers to transport
goods, and equipment, or perform maintenance
tasks in a building. It is typically located in less
visible areas.
19
ELEVATORS COMPONENTS
1. Cabin
- Is the enclosed compartment where passengers or
goods are transported between floors. It serves as the
primary space where people stand or where items are
placed during the ride.
2. Hoistway
- Is the vertical passage or enclosure in a building
through which an elevator moves. It contains the
elevator car, guide rails, counterweights, and other
components that help the elevator travel between
floors.
3. Control System
- It is a system of components that manages and directs
the operation of a machinery or process. It involves
the electronic and mechanical systems that control the
car’s movement, floor selection, and safety features to
ensure proper and efficient operation.
4. Motors
- A device that provides the mechanical power required
to move the elevator car between floors. Depending on
the elevator type, it can be:
a. Traction Motor: Drives the elevator using
cables or belts connected to pulleys,
commonly used in high-rise buildings.
b. Hydraulic Motor: Powers a hydraulic pump
that moves the elevator car using a hydraulic
piston, typically used in low- to mid-rise
buildings.
20
5. Ropes
- They are heavy-duty, flexible strands, usually made of
steel, that are used to lift and lower the elevator car.
They are essential in traction elevator systems, where
they are attached to a pulley driven by a motor.
