ABB201 Building Services

This unit introduces the principles, codes, systems, and equipment relevant to the provision of building services for medium-rise buildings. You will learn about the architects’ and consultants’ roles, and legislative requirements in relation to building services such as understanding criteria for systems and equipment and their spatial requirements; interpreting building services drawings; and meeting the requirements of the National Construction Code of Australia (NCC) and related standards for a range of user requirements. You will engage in consultative decision making to integrate building services with architectural intentions and construction methods. In this unit, building services, fire safety, universal access, climate change implications, and code requirements are offered as drivers for the design of safe, functional, and comfortable buildings.
