Course Info
This module is the first of two modules in the Construction Management + Engineering programme (WT4504 Building Services 1 and WT4208 Building Services 2) with a focus on the core concepts, techniques and technologies involved in the non-structural parts of buildings and constructions. This module concentrates more on domestic buildings. At the core of building services is the acknowledgment that humans are the primary users of buildings and constructions. Building services encompass non-structural aspects that contribute to the function, health, safety, and well-being of the occupants. Buildings, by their nature, are static entities. However, the activities within them and the needs of their occupants introduce a dynamic flow within these environments, catering to the changing requirements of users over time. Some of these services address non-tangible elements that significantly impact the comfort and wellbeing of occupants, e.g. light, sound and air quality.
