INTRODUCTION

This assignment has been provided to introduce some ‘real world’ activities into your study of Building Services Engineering Design and Maintenance, and the consideration of sustainability within Building Services design projects. It is hoped that by examining various aspects of a ‘semi-real’ building, a small Medical Research Center, you will become more familiar with the role of the Building Services Engineer and the day to day problems he/she/they may encounter. An assignment such as this cannot cover all areas of engineering services provision typically met within a commercial construction project so Assignment 1 will concentrate on:
