BUILDING SERVICES 1

This module is basically about the components and systems which run through the building either inside or outside which completes the building. The topics we will cover are ventilation, telecommunication, drainage, storm water system and many more. As we can see, it relates more to the system installed and apply to a building to provide us more knowledge about our living environment.

For the task in this module, we are required to form a group consisting of six persons and prepare a report of a specific topic we have chosen and present our information gathered on the report clearly during tutorial class. The topic of our assignment is Ventilation Problems in Heritage Building. Through a deeper research, I have understand more and gain more knowledge of the problems faced by heritage building and the ways to solve it as well as natural ventilation system itself. Moreover, the most common purpose of having to accomplish this assignment is to improve our teamwork and communication by interacting with the other group members. Other than that, this group assignment also requires a formal presentation of our information and research that we have done. In that way, I have also improve my presentation skills and have tried my best to present clearly in front of the class.

This is the presentation slides of ventilation problems in heritage building.



I have learnt a lot through lectures and tutorial classes given by our lecturer, Ms Zhermaica. She is a dedicated lecturer and has given us much exercises to practice during every tutorial class as practice makes perfect. Her explanation during tutorial class and lectures of the topics gives us a big help in assignment and mid-term test. Through this subject, I have learnt more about the system and building structure which we came across almost every day in our living environment but have not given any concern. In conclusion, building services is an interesting module which provides us more knowledge on how a building works. I hope this useful additional knowledge can bring benefit to me in my future career.
