Electrical Services for Buildings

This module provides a sound understanding of the important building blocks in electrical building services engineering and apparatus such as transformers, machines, transmission and distribution systems as well as the important building blocks in power engineering. Electrical generation, distribution and utilisation will be studied and also some of their typical computerised control systems, so that the students are able to understand their chief characteristics and the areas in which they find application. The module will also include design and application of lifts and their control systems in buildings, lighting calculations and design, and lightning protection for buildings.
In the laboratory workshops they will produce designs for on plant sizing, lighting, lift and lightning protection for several environments.
