WELCOME NOTE
Dear Students, welcome to the module of Building Services.
I know this is not your first time to hear/learn/interact with the term building services. However, with this module we are talking about Safety, Fire and Air conditioning, Types of Fire, Fire Extinguishers, Cold Water Supply, Hot Water Supply, Building Drainage, Sewer Accessories, Circulation Services etc.
Please take time to explore and to make more research beyond the few examples will be seeing in the nits/lecture or than will shown. Note that Building Services is more mechanized and involves expertise and techniques.
Brief description of aims and content
This is a 12 weeks course from which students will acquire the knowledge in various Building Services techniques and materials. Construction techniques for installing Building Services in different building structures will be discussed in this module.
Learning outcomes of the Module.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
1. Recognize the Building Services installations and material used in these kind construction.
2. Illustrate construction techniques of Building Services and appropriate materials that can be applied to specific construction projects.
3. Schedule a maintenance, repair of a particular building service when it is due based on a reliable condition assessment report well analysed.
4. Recognize Safety, Fire and Air conditioning, Types of Fire, Fire Extinguishers, Cold Water Supply, Hot Water Supply, Building Drainage, Sewer Accessories, Circulation Services required for any structure service life.
