Mechanical Engineering Practical: Ventilation Layout Analysis

This practical assignment focuses on the analysis of a first-floor ventilation layout, providing a detailed examination of mechanical engineering principles and building design. The assignment includes various construction drawings, electrical schematics, and ventilation layouts. The analysis involves understanding the placement of ventilation systems, including air ducts, vents, and other components, along with electrical elements such as light switches, PIR detectors, and photocells. The layout also incorporates notes and specifications related to electrical installations, wiring regulations, and material considerations. The provided data includes the Lyell Centre's first-floor ventilation layout, offering a real-world case study for students to apply their engineering knowledge and skills. This assignment is designed to enhance the understanding of HVAC systems and building services within a practical context. The provided data includes the Lyell Centre's first-floor ventilation layout, offering a real-world case study for students to apply their engineering knowledge and skills.
