The document discusses the key building service systems - electrical, water, sewerage/sanitary, and rainwater drainage. It provides an overview of each system including their introduction/function, main components, operation, relevant regulations, and diagrams. The electrical system covers components like meters, distribution boxes, plug points and switches. The water system includes meters, valves, pipes and storage tanks. Sewerage components discussed are traps, manholes and sumps. Relevant regulations from the UBBL and other acts are also mentioned.

Rain Alarm Project is a simple but very useful project that detects Rain (Rain Water) and automatically triggers an alarm or buzzer. Water is a basic need in every one’s life. Saving water and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an easy project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions for rain water harvesting and also save the rain water for using it later. With the help of saving this rain water through rain water harvesting, we can increase the levels of underground water by using underwater recharge technique. Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used in the irrigation field, home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and reliable circuit of rain water detector which can be constructed at low cost.
Design and implementation of a water level and pump motor controlling system(...Zabir Arkam
Drinking pure water and using clean water are more important for human body. It is observed commonly in our country that people are not aware of using water in households. Besides the natural sources of clean and pure water on the surface are decreasing day by day. On the other hand, the demand for clean and pure water is increasing due to rapid population growth in our country. It is observed in households that much water is being wasted due to overflow in water tank. Besides, much electric power is being lost due to lack of water pump controlling system. In this project, a calculation has been shown on economic effect due to overflow of water. To address the problem, a water level and water pump controlling system has been designed. In the development of the system a float switch, two indicator lamps, a relay, a magnetic contactor and an alarm have been used. In this project, relay plays an important role in safety which keeps the whole system out of power when accidently or due system fault the water is electrified. Though whole system goes out of power, relay will remain active by taking power from supply though itself. The system has gone under many trials. Finally, a successful and effective operation has been observed under different environments. The main advantages of the sophisticated system are environmentally friendliness, easiness of installation and maintenance, cost effectiveness and availability of its parts.
Project Power Shoe: Piezoelectric Wireless Power Transfer - A Mobile Chargin...Shayan Pervez
When a person walks, pressure is exerted on the
ground and this pressure can be converted into electrical energy
and it can be used to power electronic devices. In this paper a
Mobile charging system is designed. A piezo electric generator is
placed in the shoe. The power that is generated by piezo electric
generator when a person walks is transferred to the device by
using a mid-range wireless power transfer (WPT) which is a
Resonance coupling technique.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTIONAND FUNCTION
Electricsupply systemcanbe knownas the conveyance of electricpowerfromapowerstationto
consumers’premises.Basically,anelectricsupplysystem consists of three principal componentswhich
are the powerstation,the transmissionlinesandthe distributionsystem.
Accordingto the TenagaNasional Berhad (TNB),if anyirregularitiesorsignmetertampering,legal
actioncan be takenas providedunderthe ElectricitySupplyAct1990. The followingimage showsthe
processof the electricitygeneratedfromthe generatingstationandtransferredtothe customers’
places.

OPERATIONOF SYSTEM
Unlike largerbuildings,the plumbingsystemof thisbuildingdoesnotrequire the use of water-
circulatingpumps,orrooftopwatertowerstoensure that the waterpressure isadequate forall sections
of the building.The plumbingsystemforthisbuildingtypicallyconsistof one watermainenteringthe
buildingwithdomesticwaterdistributedthroughoutthe buildingbranchpiping.The waterflow is
dependentonstreetpressure. Sanitarysewerscarrywaste fromsinksandbathroom fixturestothe
sewage treatmentplant.Stormsewerscollectrainandsurface waterandcarry itto lakesor rivers.
For the maintenance of the plumbingsystem, itisnotnecessarilytohave regularmaintenance stepsbut
theyshouldbe aware of the importanthotand coldcontrol valves.Itisextremelyimportantthatthe
buildingstaff knowswhere those valvesare,andthattheyknow saidvalvesare inproperworking
condition if aleakisoccurring to helpshutoff the wateruntil a qualifiedplumbercan make a repair.
Notonlythat, regularmaintenance forthe property’sdrainpipingshouldbe done if stoppagesare a
commonproblem.Usually,mostproblems stemfromthe mainhouse draininthe basement,where all
of a building'swaste congregatesbefore leavingintothe sewer.

OPERATIONOF SYSTEM
There are twosystemsof drainage whichare 'foul'and 'surface water'and these twosystemsshouldbe

For foul drainage,itcarriesthe usedwaterfromtoilets,sinks,basins,baths,showers,bidets,
dishwashersandwashingmachines.The above-groundpipeworkisreferredtoassanitarypipework;the
undergroundpipeworkisreferredtoasfoul drainsand foul sewers.Andthisdrainage isconcludedin

Surface waterdrainage carriesrainwaterfromhardsurfaces.The above-groundsystemof guttersand

To compare drainage and sewer,we canconclude thata drain servesasingle propertywhereasasewer

23. The systemof the school worksbypipingusinggravity. Pipesare positioned,selectedandlaidsothat
the natural fall of the landhelpstransportthe stormwater.Stormwateris usually transportedbyakerb

to the area overwhichthe rain iscollectedandthe rainfall intensity.Rainfall intensityisdefinedas how
much rainfalls overa givenperiodof time. PipingforstormwaterdrainsisusuallyconstructedfromPVC,
