Buildings rely on energy

Energy supply Cooking gas,
Electricity
Heating, ventilating and air
conditioning
Water supply and plumbing
Artificial lighting
Escalators and lifts
Security and alarm systems
Fire detection and protection

Define Building Services

Everything inside a building which
makes it safe and comfortable to be in
comes under the title of 'Building
Services
A building must do what it was designed
to do -not just provide shelter but also
be an
environment where people can
live, work and achieve.

Use of Renewable Energy

What is Renewable Energy ?
Renewable energy is generally defined
as energy that comes from resources
which are continually replenished/filledup on a human timescale such as
sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and
geothermal heat.

Use of Renewable Energy

What is Renewable Energy ?

Renewable energy is generally defined as

energy that comes from resources which
are continually replenished/filled-up on a
human timescale such as sunlight, wind,
rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.
Energy produced from the refining of
biomass is also often classified as
renewable.
Coal, oil or natural gas, on the other hand,
are finite sources.
Renewable energy sources exist over wide
geographical area.
Energy securityand economic benefits.

Importance of Township
Planning

The importance of planning can be

highlighted by mentioning following evil
situations
Defective road systems leads to narrow
streets, lanes.
Heavy traffic congestion
Lack of open spaces
Lack of amenities
Uncontrolled development
Lack of basic facilities

Concept of a Township
The township planning demands active
imagination and sharp common sense of
the understanding of various needs of
the society occupying or likely to occupy
the township.
The four essential objects or ideals of any
township
Beauty
Convenience
Environment
Health

Principles of Township
Planning

Green belt
Housing
Public buildings
Recreation centres
Road systems
Transport facilities

Services in a Township
Services in a township include planning,
design and execution of
1. Water supply
2. Domestic wastewater
3. Fire protection
4. Sewerage systems
5. Electrical works
6. Lighting
7. Road network

Water Supply
Greater demand for water supply due to
Inadequate harvesting
Leakage in distribution system
Municipal water supply system has 02
objectives
Provide safe, potable water for domestic use.
Water at sufficient pressure for fire
protection.
A typical waterworks consist of a
Source treatment
Pumping
Distribution system

Fire Protection
A building cannot be made fireproof, it can
only be fire resistant using fire resisting
materials.
03 important aspect planners suggest
Fire prevention
Fire detection
Fire fighting

BBE0881 Computer Aided Visualisation and 3D

Modelling

Fire Protection
Fire prevention
Fire resisting material, access to fire appliance,
escape routes, fire lift,

Fire detection
Detectors , smoke detector, optical sensors

Fire fighting
Wet riser, separate water storage tank,
automatic sprinkler, train occupants

Fire Protection
For efficient functioning of fire
apparatus(fire engine) care should be
taken
The township plan
Fence and bollards
Turning clearance
Operational space in driveways
Fire hydrants

Roads
Requirements of a good road
Accommodate amenities
Footpaths, traffic signs safety
Resting on unyielding soil
Good alignment and visibility
Easy gradients
Side drains for dry conditions
Impervious and impermeable to rain water
Possess well designed junctions e.g.
roundabout
Overall performance should brought down
traffic

Lighting
Requirements of good lighting
Glare free
Sufficient
Right direction
Diffused light to soften harsh shadows
Excessive heat
Road lighting around residential areas,
fundamental criteria
Illuminance level
Uniformity
Use of fluorescent sodium vapor lamps

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy replaces conventional
fuels in four distinct areas
Electricity Generation
Hot water/space heating
Motor fuels / Transport fuels

Heating and Transport fuels

Heating i.e. Renewable Heat
Solar hot watermakes an important
contribution torenewable heat
China - 70% total global energy share
Multi family apartment buildings 50 million
households
Globally 70 million households
Use of biomass for fulfilling heating need
e.g. National use of biomass energy in Sweden
Use of Renewablebiofuels to reduce oil
consumption

Renewable Technologies
Wind Power

Airflows to run wind turbines

Around 600kW to 5 MW of rated power
Offshore and high altitudes places
Wind farms

Solar Energy
Solar energy applies energy from the sun in the
form ofsolar radiationto generate electricity
solar architecture,daylighting,solar hot
water,solar cooking
Solar technologies - passive solar or active
solar depending on the way they capture,
convert and distribute solar energy.

Biomass and Biofuels

Biomass(plant material) - renewable energy
source
Common commodity food crop - Sugar beets,
Sugar cane, Sun flowers, barley, corn etc
Three methods of biomass conversion to energy
Thermal conversion, Chemical conversion, Biochemical
conversion

Biofuels
Biofuels include a wide range of fuels which are
derived frombiomass
