The building services engineering design process
1. Needs assessment and concept design The first step in the design process is a detailed assessment and definition of the client’s needs and the functions of the building. This includes: 2. Concept design and studies At this stage, designers draw up preliminary plans and carry out various studies: 3. Tender design During the detailed
About building services systems in general
Building services systems comprise the systems necessary to ensure the basic operation and comfort of buildings or the proper functioning of technological processes (temperature, humidity, air quality). These systems provide heating, cooling, ventilation, water supply, sanitation, fire protection equipment (e.g. sprinklers). Heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC or buliding services) HVAC systems are responsible for maintaining
Ventilation system design: comfort and industrial approach
Air handling systems play a central role in modern building services design, as they are responsible for ensuring good indoor air quality. Ventilation systems are key not only in residential buildings, but also in industrial environments, but design expectations and requirements can differ significantly between the two areas. In this article, we review the basics
Heating and cooling systems and heat exchangers: design considerations, advantages and disadvantages
When designing a heating system for a building, there is often a need to integrate cooling solutions. In addition to heat exchangers, cooling solutions such as fan-coil units also play a central role in the air conditioning of a building. The combination of these systems provides both comfort heating and efficient cooling within a single
Heat pump systems: advantages and disadvantages
The need for sustainable energy sources is becoming more and more important today, and heat pump systems are becoming an increasingly popular building services solution. These systems can efficiently cool and heat buildings while using environmentally friendly energy. In this blog post, we look at the key advantages and disadvantages of heat pump systems. What
