street lighting design as well as the integration of self-illumination and in build lighting systems
as per the artificial light design, emergency lighting, space planning and allocation of service
space for the future installation of voice and data system by future tenants, integration of lifts
and escalators as per vertical transportation, fire alarm systems, lightning protection of the
buildings and light design for all areas not covered by artificial lighting design like service
areas, parking, basements, infrastructure areas, air traffic security lighting etc. The external
utilities services cover the surface and sub-surface drainage, sewerage, potable water,
firefighting, irrigation system, electric power, telecommunication and Engineering for wireless
infrastructure and applications and IT cabling.
g) Kitchen Design: Kitchen design comprises of calculation and definition of needed
capacities, kitchen layout with room allocation and area requirements, calculation and
definition of technical and functional requirements, planning of logistic-processes within
kitchen facilities and expert planning of all requested kitchen equipment like thermal and
cooking equipment, dish washing and conveyor system, working units, tables, sinks, basins,
hygienic equipment, specific mobile equipment, counters (self-service) and specific
equipment, dispensers etc., floor drainage system, exhaust system, cold storage rooms,
refrigeration systems, storage equipment, shelves, food processing machines and
equipment and coffee machines.
h) Vertical Transportation: In designing the vertical transportation the consultant shall take
into consideration the provision of lifts and escalators for goods and people movement within
the project boundary. The service must analyze the sizing, waiting and travel times,
movement strategies and safety issues.
i) Sustainable Building Design: The consultant shall develop and validate climate and energy
concepts for buildings. Emphasis must be given to providing highly comfortable environment
with minimum energy use.
 The consultant, in designing the buildings, shall ensure the following environmental and
occupant issues:

i. Sustainable sites: create site that reduce storm water runoff.

ii. Light pollution: reduce commute time and maximize use of natural light.
iii. Water efficiency: safeguard water and reduce water consumption.
iv. Energy and Atmosphere: reduce energy consumption, utilize renewable
energy sources and protect air quality.
v. Material and Resources: recycle, minimize waste to landfills, utilize locally
manufactured and renewable materials.
vi. Door environmental quality: utilize low VOC materials, maximize day
lighting and improve comfort.
j) Signage and Way finding: The signage program must ensure providing a seamless journey
for all users both to and from their destination. Way finding are not only in the building but
also are of particular importance within car parking areas. Signage includes but not limited
to the followings:
Internal Signage – Buildings Basement / Car Park Signage
