 Types of Services in Buildings

 Building Services are the electrical, plumbing, and

mechanical systems in a building.
 For this reason they are also called MEP services, for
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. 

 Mechanical Services
Fire fighting Systems
 Elevators & Escalators
 HVAC Systems (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems)
 Gas Supply Systems (such as for heating and cooking in residential
buildings, or oxygen and nitrogen in hospitals)
 Compressed Air Systems used in industries
 Types of Services in Buildings
 Electrical Services
 Power Supply
 Backup Power (such as diesel generators)
 Emergency Power (such as battery-based uninterrupted power
supply)
 Plumbing Systems
 Water Supply
 Drainage of Wastes
 Water Recycling Systems (these allow you to recover the water
from your waste and re-use that water for low-grade applications
such as flushing)
 Rainwater Harvesting
 Storm Water Drainage

 Mechanical Services
 Fire Fighting System
 A fire fighting system is an activity of prevention during a fire spread
in building, home or warehouse with the use of proper fire safety
equipment like extinguisher, hose reels, fire monitors, nozzles and
hose pipes.
 Active and passive fire protection  are two types of these systems 
 All fires can be extinguished by 3methds are cooling, smothering,
starving or by interrupting the combustion process to extinguish the
fire.
 The Fire Fighting System Consist of Three Basic Parts:
 1. A large storage of water in tanks, either underground or on top of
the building, called a fire storage tank.
 2. A fire water Pump House
 3. A Large Network of pipes ending in either hydrants or sprinklers
(covering all areas in the plant)
 Mechanical Services
 Elevators & Escalators
 An elevator is a room type of lift that can accommodate some
people simultaneously. It is used to move passengers up and down
across various levels of a building. On the other hand, escalators
are moving stairs, which carry people between different levels of a
building.
 Mechanical Services
 Elevators & Escalators
 Escalators are necessary “moving stairs” that carrying
public up or down between levels of a building.
 escalator are used in malls, metro and railway station, etc.
 Mechanical Services
 HVAC Systems (heating, ventilation,
and air-conditioning systems)
 Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of
various technologies to control the temperature
the  , humidity
,  , and
purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal
comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.
 Mechanical Services
 Gas Supply Systems (such as for heating
and cooking in residential buildings, or
oxygen and nitrogen in hospitals)
 Medical gases are vital life support measure and have no substitute.
 It is an Engineering Sub-system.
 Oxygen therapy - 1867
 Gases used for Human Healthcare are
known as Medical Gases
 These are strictly controlled by both
legislation and standards
 These are listed as drugs in Indian, European, US, Japanese
Pharmacopoeias or in National Formulary of the countries
 These are considered drugs and have statutory specifications
 Mechanical Services
 Gas Supply Systems (such as for heating
and cooking in residential buildings, or
oxygen and nitrogen in hospitals)
 City Gas Civil Pressure Regulator
 Integrate pressure regulation and
safety cut-off
 Optional gas alarm system, RTU unit
and communication unit
 Use box skid-mounted.
 Civilian medium and low voltage
regulators, mainly used in residential
quarters and restaurants and hotels
 Mechanical Services
 Compressed Air Systems used in industries
 Compressed air is an important medium for transfer of energy in
industrial processes, and is used for power tools such as air
hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint,
to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to
propel vehicles.
 Electrical Services
 Power Supply
 The power supply system is broadly divided into 3 sectors: (1) the
power generation sector, (2) the power transmission and
distribution sector, and (3) the retail sector. This sector operates
hydroelectric, thermal, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, and other
power plants and produces electricity.
 Electrical Services
 Backup Power (such as diesel generators)
 Backup generators, aka portable generators, are not permanent
installations, rather, they are intended to provide temporary backup
power on an as-needed basis. They do not offer automatic outage
detection, as do their standby counterparts
 Electrical Services
 Emergency Power (such as battery-based
uninterrupted power supply)
 Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are power supplies that can
switch over to a battery backup when power outages occur. Multiple
devices can be plugged into a UPS similar to a power bar, and the
UPS generally provides such functions as surge protection and noise
filtering.
 Plumbing Systems
 Water Supply
 water supply system, infrastructure for the collection, transmission,
treatment, storage, and distribution of water for homes, commercial
establishments, industry, and irrigation, as well as for such public
needs as fire-fighting and street flushing. Of all municipal services,
provision of potable water is perhaps the most vital. People depend
on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away wastes, and
other domestic needs
 Plumbing Systems
 Drainage of Wastes
 Drainage systems capture water, reclaim it, and convey it to an
appropriate offsite location to be processed and treated for waste.
When water is captured, it must be adequately processed for both
hazardous and non-hazardous waste before it can be outlet into a
body of water or reused
 Plumbing Systems
 Water Recycling Systems (these allow you to
recover the water from your waste and re-
use that water for low-grade applications
such as flushing)
 Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes
such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet
flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground
water recharge). Water recycling offers resource and financial savings
 Plumbing Systems
 Rainwater Harvesting
 Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the collection and storage of rain,
rather than allowing it to run off. Rainwater is collected from a roof-
like surface and redirected to a tank, cistern, deep pit (well, shaft,
or borehole), aquifer, or a reservoir with percolation, so that it
seeps down and restores the ground water.
 Plumbing Systems
 Storm Water Drainage
 Storm water drainage system means the system of publicly or
privately operated rivers, creeks, ditches, drainage channels, pipes,
basins, street gutters, and lakes within the City through which or
into which storm water runoff, surface water or subsurface water is
conveyed or deposited.
 Data based Systems
 Security Systems
 Protect Your Perimeter With Fence, Buried Cable & Microwave
Sensors. Smart Solutions...
 Data based Systems
 Fire Alarm Systems
 A fire alarm system warns people when smoke, fire, carbon
monoxide or other fire-related or general notification emergency/
emergencies are detected
 Data based Systems
 Building Management Systems
 Building management system (BMS) also known as building
automation system (BAS) refers to a computer-based control
system that needs to be installed within buildings to monitor and
regulate the building's electrical and mechanical equipment such as
power system, lighting, and ventilation
 Data based Systems
 Public Address Systems
 A public address system (or PA system) is an electronic system
comprising microphones, amplifiers, loudspeakers, and related
equipment. It increases the apparent volume (loudness) of a human
voice, musical instrument, or other acoustic sound source or
recorded sound or music. PA systems are used in any public venue
that requires that an announcer, performer, etc.
 Data based Systems
 Cable TV Systems
 Cable TV is the system where in TV signal is delivered to the users
using coaxial cable rather than radio waves. A cable TV company
collects all the TV signals and multiplexes them. Later multiplexed
signal is delivered to the subscribers.
 Data based Systems
 Data Networks
 Data networks refer to systems designed to transfer data between
two or more access points via the use of system controls,
transmission lines and data switching. What makes a data network
unique from other types of networks is that it is set up to transmit
data only.
 Data based Systems
 Voice Networks
 Voice Network means the infrastructure and other Network
resources used to transport voice traffic associated with voice
applications, including telephony, wireless, landline, voice over IP
and voicemail.
