Vertical Circulation Analysis
Building:Willis Towers, formerly Sears Towers, Chicago City, Illinois, USA
Quick Facts:
System Concept: Sky Lobby ConceptNo. of Elevators: 104 Cabs
Elevator Cables: 130 km total
Analysis
System Concept
The Willis Tower employs the Sky Lobby concept the fourth building to use this concept, the
first being the John Hancock Center, also by the same architects.
In the Sky Lobby concept, two (2) types of elevators, except for an additional type freight
elevator, will be used:
1.) Express Elevator which will travel only to the sky lobbies and the observation decks
2.) Local Elevator which will travel to all the floors within a section of the building
meaning they are for intra-zonal travel
The sky lobby, for which this is named, is the intermediate floor where people can change from
express elevators to local elevators. They are located on the 34thand the 66thto 67thfloor
Elevator Specs
The Willis Tower employs a 104-cab elevatorsystem.
The express elevatorsare one of the fastest
in the world operating at 488 meters per
minute.
There are double deck shuttle elevators
serving sky lobbies.
For the local elevators, there are single deck
elevators.
The elevators are DC Gearless Traction types.
Architectural Consequences
1. Huge elevator lobbies
2. Elevator equipment at the Mechanical
floors previously stated.

HVAC System Analysis
Building: No. 1 Spinningfields, Manchester, United Kingdom
Quick Facts:
Site Climate: Mild Summers and Cool Winters
Temperature Range: Average 1.6C 20.6C @ 86% Average Relative Humidity
Number of Floors: Podium 7 floors, Tower 20 floors (Incl. Podium) @ 90m height
Ventilation Type: Centralized Fresh Air Unit
Heating and Cooling: Low Temp. Hot Water (LTHW) and Chilled Water (CHW) System
via 4-Pipe Fan Coil Units (FCU) w/ individual control units;
Temperature Control is Decentralized
Analysis
Ventilation Strategy:
The ventilation system is a Centralized Fresh Air Unit which means that fresh air will be regularly
circulated around the building.
No. 1 Spinningfields has three major areas that require different ventilation strategies:
1.) The podium and tower which is centrally ventilated with Air Handling Units from the 19 th
floor and podium roof.
7/23/2019 2015-11-17 Analysis No.2
6/16
2. The basement parking which receives air from the parking entrance and circulates it via soffit
mounted impulse fans which will exit at the ground floor louvres via parallel mounted
extract fans.
3. The ground floor retail area and the ground floor reception areas which will receive some
ventilation from the central AHU but will ultimately be ventilated via packaged heat
exchanger modulesconnected to louvers in the ground floor faade. The retail tenants
will be responsible for the installation of these modules in their units while the lobby
comes installed with the modules.
Heating and Cooling
Heating and cooling, instead of air-conditioning, will be done via Low Temp. Hot Water (LTHW)
and Chilled Water (CHW) Systemsrespectively.
Water will either be cooled or boiled in air cooled chillers and condensing boilers found on the
plant rooms on the basement and 8thfloor. This water will then be fed to various 4-Pipe Fan Coil
Units (FCU) (installed within the ceiling voids) which
will provide the heating and cooling to the individual
spaces.
This system is used to allow for multiple zone usage
which allows for better user flexibility, increased
comfort, and decreased energy use.Fan Coil Units

Architectural Consequences
1. Huge Floor Spacesas plant rooms to house Large Air-Handling Units, Boilers, and Chillers. In
One Spinningfields, there are plant rooms in the basement, the 8 thfloor, the podium rooftop,
and the 19thfloor.
2. Service spacefor the piping, vents, and the fan coil units

Electrical Systems Analysis
Building:Willis Towers, formerly Sears Towers, Chicago City, Illinois, USA
Quick Facts:
Connected Load: 124 Mw
Maximum Demand: 61 Mw
Service Feed: Four (4) 138-kv underground pipe cables
Substation (TDC): 1 200-Mva Edison Distribution Substation @ Basement
TDC Transformers: Four (4) 50MVA Water-cooled Transformers @ 1stUG level
Internal Distribution: Eight (8) 12-kv feeders
Total Wiring: 3200km of Electrical Wire
Generators: Two 2,100 KW diesel generators
Power Source
The Willis Tower is powered by a 200-Mva Edison Distribution Substationlocated at the
basement mechanical level. They call this the Transmission-Distribution Center or TDC.
This Substation or TDCwill be supplied power from the outsidethrough four (4) 138-kv
underground pipe cables. Each pipe cable will go through a 50MVA Transformer.

This four transformers would then supply Two (2) 12.5-
kv ring buseswith switchgears for each buses on two floors. The
ring buses will each have four (4) busesfrom which there will
come forty (40) feeders.
Of these forty feeders, thirty-two (32) will serve theneighboring area while the remaining eight (8) 12-kv feeders
from each of the four buses will serve the Willis Towers.
A capacitor would be found on another floor below the
switchgears.
Distribution System
12-kv risers, from each of the eight buses will serve the Willis Towers. The switchgears
for these would be metal enclosed, and consists of metering bays, fuse bays, and gang-operated
disconnect bays.
These risers will extend up to the building through two (2) vertical conduit runs or cores
located on the north-east, which will run all the way up to the top floor of the building, and the
south-east, which will run up to the 64thfloor. This vertical conduit runs are actually dry-type
transformer rooms stacked one upon the other on every floor of the building.
The building will have dry-type transformers on almost half of the floors of the building.
They would be able to supply three to four floors each. Any of these transformers can be switch
to an emergency riser.
Five (5) riser cableswould will supply transformers on Sears-occupied floors, three will
supply transformers for tenant fluorescent-lighting load, and one will feed transformers for
tenant receptacle load.
Also, fifteen (15) riser cableswill feednetwork and unit transformerslocated on the B2,
29th Floor, 64F, 88F, and 104F. These floors will house the buildings mechanical equipment
wherein you can find network-type transforms serving as spot-network centers.
Emergency Power
For emergency power, the Willis Tower has two (2)
2100 KW Diesel Generatorsthat could produce enough
electricity to power two hundred fifty (250) typical
homes.
For the whole its career, however, the Willis Towers
has never had the occasion to use these generators
because of the effectiveness of its system.

Architectural Consequences
Powering this very tall building was
indeed a very challenging task. The
resulting electrical system required a
huge amount of space that becamevery important factors to the design
of the building.
Here are the architectural
consequences of the design:
1. Up to three underground floors
were dedicated to the complex
machinery required of the design.
2. Floors dedicated solely toMechanical and Electrical machinery
was employed. Refer to the stacking
diagram for those floors.
3. Consequence 2, however, allowed the electrical designers to create an even more efficient
distribution system by allowing the transformers be located as close as possible to the loads.

Plumbing System Analysis
Building: Willis Tower, formerly Sears Tower, Chicago
City, Illinois, USA
Quick Facts:
Total Plumbing: 40000km of Plumbing
Total No. of Fixtures: 992 Toilets and 796
Washroom Faucets
Analysis
Water Supply:
The Willis Towers employs a series of pumps and tanks located in
the mechanical floors in order to supply water: the basement, 31stfloor,
64thfloor, the 88thfloor, and the 104th-110thfloor.
Piping System (For Both Water Supply and Soil Pipe)
From these mechanical floors, the Willis Towers will use standard
plumbing practice, reliant on gravity.
This systems work because the different mechanical floors, which
act as pressure breaks, make it so that the whole Willis tower can be
considered as a collection of shorter buildings.
Another significant feature of the design is the express riser,a riser not
connected to any fixtures. Solely intermediate building drains are connected to these risers.
This would lead to:
1.) Smaller pipe sizes
2.) Avoidance of any impacts to the operation of
the fixtures in case of any pressure surges in the
stack
Architectural Consequences
1. The design called for mechanical floors in
regular intervalswhere plumbing equipment
and tanks could be located.
2. The design is standard. The risers and pipes
are hidden in chases in walls, ceilings, and floors.

Building Management and Security System
Building: Willis Tower, formerly Sears Tower, Chicago City, Illinois, USA
Quick Facts:
Building Monitoring Type: Full Automation
Security System: CCTV
No. of Employees:
25 Engineers
3 Electricians
110 Janitors
100 Security Guards
Analysis:
Building Monitoring System
The Willis Tower is a fully automated building. All
building operations are monitored and controlled from
a command center.
The responsibilities and capabilities of the system
include:
1. CCTV Security
2. Building System Monitoring: HVAC, Water Systems,
and Electrical Systems
3. Room Temperature Control
4. Elevator Systems Control
Security System
Building security is primary handled by the
Command Center which controls hundreds of CCTVcameras in the building.One hundred (100) security
guardsare also employed.
Visitors are also screened through various
machines, such as metal detectors, in response to the
September 11 attacks.Willis Tower Lobby

Maintenance System
The building employs daily maintenance in cycles
because of the sheer size of the building.
The exterior is cleaned via six (6) automatic window
washersone of which is shown on the picture.
Apart from this, a hundred (100) janitors and
housekeepers are employed. There are also twenty-
five (25) engineers and three (3) electricians who
handle more than one hundred four (104) elevator cabs,
three thousand two hundred (3,200) km of electrical wire, forty thousand (40,000) km of
plumbing, and one hundred and forty five thousand (145,000) lighting fixtures.
Architectural Consequences
This arrangement would require the following:
1. A huge lobbythat would fit 25,000 peoplea day and the machinery that would require to
screen them
2. A whole floor, perhaps more, to accommodate the command center, its employees and
computers
3. Floor space to accommodate the huge machineries
required
4. Separate entrances and internal circulation for the
hundreds of employees that maintain the tower. A
manifestation of this are the freight elevators hidden
from public view
5. Support spaces such as lockers and pantry area for
the hundreds of employees that maintain the tower
6. Special roof-top tracksfor the automatic window washers

Solid Waste Management Analysis
Building: One Spinningfields, Manchester, England, UK
Quick Facts:
Handling System: Compactor System
Facilities: Trash Compactor Room and Storage
Collection Schedule: Daily
Analysis
Basis
The basis of the One Spinningfields Building Solid Waste Management Strategy is the UK Central
Governments Waste Hierarchy.
System
One Spinningfields uses a three step system in waste management and collection:
1. Localized/Tenant Waste Management Waste Management begins at the source in One
Spinningfields. Tenants are encouraged to separate their waste as they are produced.
In order to promote good waste management behavior, One Spinningfields has adequate
paper bins/containers and general waste bins at each floor.
2. Whole Building Waste Management Outside working hours, office workers would then
collect the trash from each floor. All of these would end up in the basements compactor and
storage room where waste is further segregated, compacted, and then stored awaiting collection.

15/16
3. Government Waste Management Everyday, segregated waste from One Spinningfields will
be collected by the government, as part of a wider system and effort in Waste Management.
Architectural Consequences
1. Separate circulation for Waste Management Services, since waste collection is often an
unsightly affair for office workers.
2. Dedicated vertical circulation or freight elevator for trash collection
3. Space for Trash Compactor and Bin Storage that is near a dedicated means of vertical
circulation
4. Dedicated area where trash collection may be performed away from public view (Loading Bay)

Quick Facts:
Monitoring System: Centralized from Command Center
System Components: Fire Sprinklers
Heat Detectors
Smoke Detectors
Smoke Control
Analysis
Monitoring System
The Command Center monitors about 30,000 points in terms of fire-safety in the building.
Fire Detection System
Advanced smoke detectors on every floor can pinpoint the source of any smoke and alert
the command center. Heat detectors are also installed.
As a note, smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the Willis Tower.
Fire Control System
The Willis Tower is the first major office building to have a complete fire sprinkler system.
There are around 40,000-50,000 sprinkler headsin the building covering every square meter of
space.
It also features exhaust systemswhich may reduce flow of air in an area which may fuel
a fire. Alternatively, the exhaust system can also be used to remove smoke from an area after a
fire has been cleared.
There are fire pumping stationsin many levels including in all of the mechanical rooms.
Fire Escapes
Four (4) stairwells, each with more than 2000 steps, can be used in case of fire. They arefire-rated and air-tight.
There are also firemens elevators.
