THE IMPORTANCE OF MECHANICAL &
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM for BUILDING
• Modern Building Function:
• shelters from rain
• shelter from wind
• shelter from snow
• shelter from sun
• shelter from other harsh conditions of nature.
• Modern Building System function:
M&E
• Built to create better, more consistent,
more productive environments in
which to work and to live.

Global Environments
* Buildings other than those used for classrooms follow the space required
for specialty buildings such as laboratories, computer centers and
residences.
Early building design; one room, one window for ventilation and lighting
Modern buildings develops according to the modernization of building M&E systems
(common building geometry figures)
Building Height Vs Space utilization; 7 storey (75ft ~) buildings are considered high-rise
(determined by the reach of firefighters ladder), limit the ability for human to walk up and
down stairs > transportation is needed
Height increases = Less usable space on the floor – more floor for stairs, elevators,
structural elements, M/E shafts, etc

SYSTEM INTEGRATION &
MANAGEMENT
• Integrated Building Management System (IBMS) a complete information delivery
system that monitors and controls a variety of systems and functions at an optimal
level of efficiency.
• IBMS is an intelligent/smart building system and the system design consists of the
following components :
i. Building automation System
ii.Fire Detection and Alarm System
iii.Public Address System
iv.Security System
