This chapter discusses the mechanical and electrical systems that are required to provide and maintain comfort, health and safety for the occupants of a building. Building services engineering may be considered under three main headings:
plumbing, electrical engineering
and
mechanical engineering
.
Plumbing deals with the supply of
potable water
, which is essential for human consumption and
sanitation
. In order to maintain sanitary conditions within a building and the surrounding area, the
waste water
must be
disposed
of efficiently.
Electrical systems provide light as well as heat to a building and the power to run its machines.
Mechanical engineering deals with the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning of interior space. It also includes the planning of elevators and escalators, with the necessary operating equipment and vertical shafts.
