Building Services 31.IntroductionBuilding services are different types of engineering systems, equipment and products that aredesigned and installed in buildings so as to make them functional, efficient, safe, environmental friendly and comfortable for occupants[ CITATION Por14 \l 1033 ]. These systems play a major rolein controlling internal environment of the building. The increased awareness of global climate change and fluctuating comfort needs of occupants have made integration of building services in modern buildings to be of great important. As a result of this, it is very important to ensure that suitable building services are identified at very early stages of the project so as to incorporate them in the design process of the building and prevent clashes with other components of the building[CITATION Cha12 \l 1033 ]. The building services should also be designed, installed and used by following the building standards, codes, regulations, procedures and practices[ CITATION Hal15 \l 1033 ]. 2.Proposed building servicesSome of the proposed building services for the Church Hall project are as follows:2.1.Mechanical servicesMechanical services comprise of systems that are designed and installed in buildings so as to provide optimal thermal comfort and maintain the desired internal temperature and air quality. The proposed mechanical services for the building is heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. This is the system that will maintain safety and comfort of building occupants by facilitating flow of fresh air throughout the building. The system maintains high air quality in the building by controlling indoor temperature and oxygen replenishment, and removing moisture, smoke, odors, dust, carbon dioxide, heat, airborne bacteria, etc. Heating and cooling system that can be used include: chiller, heat pump or furnace or boiler. Ventilation can be provided by a combination of natural ventilation and forced or mechanical ventilation systems (fans, bathroom and kitchen exhausts, etc.). Air handling units (AHUs), such as standalone air conditioners, can be used to provide the required air conditioning for the building. In case of a chiller, an efficient refrigerant should be used to produce chilled water for supply to AHUs. All these mechanical services should be designed and installed in compliance with the relevant Australian Standards, National Construction Code of Australia (NCC) standards and council conditions. The main standards that will be used for design, installation and operation of mechanical services are AS/NZS 1668 set – The use of ventilation and air conditioning in buildings. 2.2.Electrical servicesThese services include energy supply and energy distribution systems. The building requires energy for several uses and therefore it must be adequately supplied with it. The building will be supplied with electricity, gas (compressed natural gas or liquid petroleum gas) and solar energy. Electricity will be obtained from the national grid and distributed to all rooms for various uses such as lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, etc. The gas will be obtained from a designated storage tank and piped to the kitchen and other rooms for cooking, air conditioning, cleaning andwater heating. The gas supply system should also be equipped with an automatic control system, gas pressure meter, warning system and communication system. Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the building or parking to generate solar energy. The building is located in an area with high potential of solar energy and this should be capitalized. It is also recommended to consider use of wind energy and geothermal heat pump. Any surplus energy can be kept in an

The electrical services will comprise of all equipment, fixtures and connections used in the supply and distribution of power into the building. This includes power distribution boards, electricity meters, cables, sockets, switches, etc. All these electrical services should be designed and installed in compliance with the relevant Australian Standards, National Construction Code of Australia (NCC) standards and council conditions. Some of the standards to be used for electrical services include: AS/AZS 3000:2007 – Electrical installations; AS/AZS 3012:2010 – Electrical installations, AS/NZS 3017:2007 – Electrical installations; AS/NZS 3760:2010 – In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment; AS/NZS 4836:2011 – Safe working on low-voltage electrical installations and equipment; Electrical Safety Act 2002; and Electrical Safety Regulation 2013.Figure 1: Schematic diagram of electrical services[CITATION Cli102 \l 1033 ]2.3.Lighting servicesThese include both artificial and natural lighting systems. The building will capitalize on daylighting by use of windows, light shelves or skylights to save energy. Artificial lighting system will comprise of indoor and outdoor light fixtures (LED bulbs and lamps), switches, etc. Since the artificial lighting systems consume energy, they will be integrated with electrical services. Emergency lighting will also be included. All the lighting services should be designed and installed in compliance with the relevant Australian Standards, National Construction Code of Australia (NCC) standards and council conditions. Specific standards that will be used for lighting services include: AS/NZS 1680 Set – Interior lighting and workplace lighting; and AS/NZS 2293.1 – Emergency evacuation lighting for buildings (Part 1, 2 and 3). 2.4.Water, plumbing and drainage servicesThese are systems that are associated with the supply and distribution of water to the buildingand removal of wastewater to the treatment or municipal wastewater systems.
