Reflection on Building Services I

I have much about the components that complete a building in this module. Frankly, I was not aware that so many components form the arteries and veins inside a building, as most of them are covered by ceilings and walls. I now know that there are various types of ducts and conduits concealed within there compartments that keeps the building running

One of my favourite chapters in this module is Ventilation. I realise that it is very important to have a workable and practical ventilation system in a building, as its inhabitants - humans - are directly affected by the indoor air quality when it comes to productivity. A high PPM of CO2 will make humans drowsy, and any toxic gas that can not escape from the building will because major harm through time. I learn about how natural ventilation can be enhanced to increase its impact in a building, and how mechanical ventilation can be installed when natural ventilation is inappropriate. It is when I start to understand why certain ducts and services are placed in certain location in my campus.

In conclusion, it is a very interesting module to study and it completes my knowledge on how buildings work.
