Summary
Introduction
1.0 Introduction West Tower is located in Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town with approx. 40,000m Gross Area 103 Storey with approx. 432m height Composite building which consists of multi-functional areas such as office, hotel, retails, carpark, etc.
MEP Design Considerations for Tall Buildings
2.1 MEP Services Zone Impact Floor-to-floor height and clear headroom are bounded by the structural MEP (SMEP) zone
STR
MEP
Minimize the required height of SMEP zone in turn of increasing the total number of floors with a limited height Intensive design coordination is required to achieve optimized design

Lift System
2.2 Core Efficiency
Lift core is the major element occupied the core area of tall building Different lift design strategy will be considered for optimizing the core efficiency: Using high speed lift Sky lobby Use of double-deck lift

2.5 Centralized vs De-centralized System
For super tall building, composite zoning is normally adopted Centralized System
Fire Services System Plumbing System Security System
De-centralized System
Air-conditioning System Power Supply System Lift System
Centralized AHU System
Located at one or more specified floors
Pros: -
No AHU at typical floor - increase core efficiency of typical floor Centralized maintenance works
Cons: -
More plant space requires at podium area and main entrance floor Duct-borne noise is existed
De-centralized AHU System

Located at each typical floor
Pros: -
Better individual AC control High availability for equipment selection Less plant space required at podium area and main entrance floor
Cons: -
Reduce core efficiency of typical floor More individual maintenance work
