Semester Offered

Course Objectives 1. To provide knowledge on various types of electricalinstallations and services pertaining to M&E systems.

2. To expose students to the required rules and regulations inbuilding services in compliances with Uniform Building by-Laws 1984( Act 133), Street, Drainage & Building Act 1974and Code of Practice on Energy Efficiency and Use ofRenewable Energy for Non-residential Buildings (MS 1525:2001) .

3. To provide knowledge on electrical designs and installationsin compliance with national and international electrical codeof practices, standards and specifications.

To expose students to the modern concept of smart /

intelligent and energy-efficient building designs, systems,

and services.

Course Synopsis In the beginning of the course the students will be introducedto the basic concept and theory of electricity, power systemand equipment. Then the students will be exposed to thevarious electrical equipment that are used in the buildingsystems and services i.e. telecommunication system, data

distribution system, security system, fire alarm system,lightening protection system etc. The students will also be

exposed to the internal electrical installation design andinstallation in compliance with national and internationalelectrical code of practices and standards. For themaintenance proposes the student will be taught on theelectrical failures, fault finding and analysis, trouble shootingand restoration of supply. The students are also exposed tothe modern concept of smart and intelligent building throughexisting model smart buildings locally and internationally.

The emphasis of this programme is an integrated approach,toward achieving smart / intelligent building concept by takinginto consideration the energy efficiency and saving, BuildingAutomation System (BAS), Energy Management System(EMS), Agronomics, Environmental Management System(EMS)

Learning

Outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to integrate

various building services related to electrical installations,concepts and requirements in compliance to the rules andregulations, code of practices and related national,international standards and relevant technical specifications.

Able to integrate smart/ intelligent building concept byincorporating the aspect of building automation system, energyefficient equipment, energy saving and energy managementsystem.
