MECHANICAL
VENTILATORS
Fan driven by electric motor as means of
increasing ventilation by natural means
Air conditioning in hot climate means adjusting
the relative humidity of air and is heated by
passing it through a chamber which is cooled
later by a series of cold water pipes.
KITCHEN VENTILATORS
A hood or canopy mounted directly over cooking equipment, draws
up the smoke, moisture, heat and fumes away from local institutional
kitchens.
WATER MANAGEMENT
About 75% of the water supplied to a building has to be disposed
through the drainage and sewerage system thus the sewer charge in
the water bill. It is the responsibility and duty of the water
concessionaires to provide and maintain sewers.
The architectural drawings of the building for lodging or franchise
operations will include plumbing, electrical and mechanical
connections.
