Question

As a CRATOX staff member, you have been assigned to prepare a design for the air conditioning, lighting and fire protection (smoke detection and sprinklers) services systems for a 12-person meeting room in an office building.

You have been asked to prepare a report for CRATOX in which you will outline the design and the service requirements, as well as identify issues. You will also make technological, service and maintenance recommendations, with special consideration of unique ceiling specifications.

PARTB REPORT–STRUCTURE ANDSPECIFICATIONS

To prepare your report, refer to the structure and specifications in the instructions below. Be sure to read the information under the headingResearch and PreparationandFurther Adviceon page 4, to help you work through this assessment task. In your report, you must state any assumptions you have made.

Report Structure

Structure your report to address the following:

a) An accurately scaled draft Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP) for this room AND one section view of the ceiling void.

Draft, using a computer aided software, a Reflected Ceiling Plan and Ceiling Void Section.Thiswill be key to helping to firm up your decisions and will need to be submitted as part of your draftplan.

Watch theAutoCAD Instructional Videos
Use the providedAssessment 1 Part B AutoCAD Drawing File
For the RCP, adapt the skeleton drawing in the Model Space within AutoCAD and use the scale provided on the RCP Title Block.
The cut line for the Ceiling Void Section is shown in the Model Space. There is no skeleton drawing provided for the Ceiling Void Section. That is, you will need to create the Ceiling Void Section within the Model space.
For the Ceiling Void Section, a scale is suggested in the Ceiling Void Section Title Block, but this scale may change depending on how the ceiling void section is presented. Use a scale that is a whole number multiple of 1. For example: 1:20, 1:30, 1:50....not a scale of, for example, 1: XXXXXXXXXXThe assessor needs to be able to quickly measure and verify the scale presented.
Ensure your Name and Initials are included on the Title Block of both drawings, Reflected Ceiling Plan and Ceiling Void Section.

Note:Hand drawn RCP or hand drawn ceiling void section will not be considered for assessment.

b) The issues to be considered in the laying out, installation and maintenance of the services.Consider both the services on the ceiling and above the ceiling and the maintenance required for each service.Legend provided in AutoCAD Drawing File.
c) Technologies incorporated in the design.This is including but not limited to Integrated AV system, data system, WIFI systems, hearing augmentation, room booking system, automated blind and lighting control and electronic security systems.

d)Recommended ceiling systemsthat would suit the given scenario, with reasons including how this decision impacts the services, and vice versa

Report Specifications

You are required to reference the applicable Australian Standards which dictate the quantity and spacing of the air conditioning, lighting, smoke detection and sprinkler services.
The following parameters are to be utilised: -

a) The meeting room size is 15m x 10 m
b) The ceiling void above the meeting room has 700mm (clear height)
c) This room contains two parallel reinforced concrete beams 300 mm deep x 500 mm wide, running
across the room above the ceiling.

d) The floor over is a reinforced concrete slab and accommodates toilets and showers for the tenancy above.

3. The following service must be included in this room:

a) Dimmable LED panel lighting system, flush-mounted, for general space illumination.
b) Ceiling mounted exit and emergency lighting for emergency evacuation.

c)Feature LED track spotlight system, for artwork on the two walls.

d) Ceiling recessed speaker system for AV sound reinforcement.
e) AV projection system, to one end wall including ceiling mounted microphones, hearing augmentation
and automated blind and lighting control
f) Ceiling mounted WIFI systems for wireless connectivity within the meeting room to enable wireless
internet and network access.
g) Supplementary ducted air conditioning system, flush mounted.
h) Sprinkler system, ceiling mounted.
i) Smoke detection and alarm system ceiling mounted.
j) Hydraulic wastewater and domestic hot and cold-water piping for above toilets

Research and Preparation

a) The notes you take and the AutoCAD sketches you make should support the information you need to include in the report.
b) Consider the issues in the laying out, installation and maintenance of the services for the meeting room you aredesigning utilising applicable Australian Standards and Building Codes.
c) Examine the services one at a time, and collectively.
d) Think about sequencing, support, clashes, appearance, access, and so on.
e) Conduct research online to find out about different ceiling systems. Recommended ceiling systems that would suitthe given scenario, with reasons including how this decision impacts the services, and vice versa.
f) Consider using an Excel spreadsheet to work out the sequencing and potential clashes - keeping in mind clashes relate to physical space and the timing of their installation, as well as access for maintenance.

An audible warning cue is smoke alarm system. A sound energy produces a resonating wave to a closest molecule within the selected material. We know that dense materials produce a better sound than less dense materials. Smoke alarm system is an integrated equipment, consist of the audible signals, rings, sirens customized voice and intense flashing lights. Maintenance of this system must be done regularly as per the schedule. Generally, the quarterly check and test are recommended. It has a switch as a test button. This switch must be checked and tested at least once in a month to certify that alarm is working in a right condition. Bursting of the fire nozzle is recommended at least once in a year. The purpose of this system is when building caught fire, quickly apartment would be filled by the smoke and the toxic gases. It would be a far before the flame and the heat can spread. Major incidents happen in fire by the toxic gas only. Research evident that many victims are never even burnt by flames. This smoke alarm system is the most trusted protection in regards to this life threating events. At very initial stage it can sense the tiny presence of smoke and initiate the sounds alarm. It provides the escape window much before the smoke could capture.

	d) Essential Fire safety cardinals
	Standard of performance design & installation standard
	Proposed
	Remarks
	Building in a flood area
	BP 1. 4
	
	only applies to buildings in which people are likely to sleep that are located in a flood hazard area, i.e. a Class 2
	Spread of fire
	CF2(c)
	
	in Class 2  parts used as sole-occupancy units that provide sleeping
accommodation to allow sufficient time for the occupants to safely evacuate;
	Spread of fire
	CP2(a)(ii)
	
	aims to minimise the risk of people in Class 2 buildings, for example, if they were sleeping and consequently having difficulty escaping a fire. For this reason, CP2(a)(ii) requires that sole-occupancy units  and corridors used for escaping be provided, to the degree necessary, with protection to avoid the spread of fire.
	Type of construction required
	C1.1(a)
	
	sets out the minimum type of fire-resisting construction required by the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions for all Class
2 buildings.
	
	C1.1(b)
	
	requires building elements to comply with Specification C1.1 for the appropriate type of construction.
	Class and height (rise in storeys)
	Table C1.1
	
	explains that the required type of construction of a building depends on risk levels as indicated by the Class of
building and the building’s height as indicated by the rise in storeys. Note that there could be other factors that need to be
considered. For example, C2.2 and Table C2.2 examine the maximum permissible size of fire compartments or atriums in
buildings for specific types of construction.
	Class 4 parts of buildings
	C1.6
	
	The reason for requiring the same FRL for a Class 4 as a Class 2 building is because the two different classifications have similar fire loads. It should be noted that the Type of construction required for a Class 4 part is determined in accordance with C1.3.
	
	
	
	
	Public corridors in Class 2 buildings
	C2.14
	
	In a Class 2 building there is a very high risk that building occupants will be asleep when a fire occurs. It is important that they be able to safely evacuate the building. To assist in the safe evacuation, long public corridors should not become smoke logged.
	Bounding construction: Class 2
	
	
	To maintain the fire performance of walls surrounding a sole-occupancy unit and corridors used as egress routes in Class 2 buildings, C3.
