ESCALATORS
Escalators are poweredstairs , a sequence of continuously moving step that transport passengers working
between two floors of a multistory building.
The location should be there, where traffic between floors of a building is heaviest and where convenient For passengers.
In department stores, escalators usually carry 75 to 90% of the traffic between floors. To take advantage of heavy traffic
carried by escalators, they should lead to strategic scales area. It is generally installed in the lobby of ground floor to carry
passengers to upper floor.

HVAC SYSTEM
Heating
Heating isa process of transferring heat from a heat source to any space within a building. There are
different types of standard heating systems. Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat
water, steam, or air.
Ventilating
Ventilating is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to control temperature or remove
moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust and airborne bacteria.
Air-conditioning
Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. In order to remove heat from
something, you simply need to provide a medium that is colder.
HVAC IN SPACES
Mixingsystems
Mixing systems generally supply air in a manner that the air in the entire room is fully mixed. In cooling
mode, the cool supply air, typically around 55’F at design conditions, exits an outlet at high velocity, inducing
room air to provide mixing and temperature equalization. To enhance the mixing, diffusers are normally used
as the air outlets.
Displacement ventilation
Displacement systems introduce air at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is
primarily used for ventilation and space cooling applications. By doing so, the air quality in the occupied
zone is generally superior to that achieved with mixing room air distribution.

DUCTING SYSTEM
• Ductsare used in HVAC to deliver and remove air. These needed airflows include, for example, supply
air, return air, and exhaust air.
• Ducts also deliver, most commonly as part of the supply air, ventilation air.
• Air ducts are one method of ensuring acceptable indoor air quality as well as thermal comfort.
AIR CUTTER

•Provide adequate fixed installation
•Designing & installing building services
•Designing & providing adequate and safe escape routes
•Selecting materials for the construction which will not promote the rapid spread of
fire or generate dangerous smoke
•Subdividing buildings into compartments of reasonable sizes
•Designing & constructing the exterior of a building
56.
Fire Fighting
Fire Fightingtechniques and equipment are used to
extinguish fires and limit the damage caused by them.
Fire fighting consists of removing one or more of the
three elements essential to combustion—fuel, heat, and
oxygen—or of interrupting the combustion chain
reaction.
57.
Sources of firehazards can be
classified based on the triangle of
fire, namely from materials, oxidants
and heat energy .

There are twotypes of fire control
A. Active control
B. Passive control
A. Active control
1.Fire Detection / Fire alarm System :
Fire alarm System can be either manual or automatic.
2.Fire extinguishing systems
It is obligatory to make provision of fire detection and/or fire extinguishing
systems. These systems are described below –
61.
These are simplestand most reliable fire detection and are commonly
used in building. They are also known as temperature detectors.
This consists of a hand bell or similar sounding devise
emitting distinctive sound when struck. Such devices are
installed near all the main exit and passages.
This type of system on detection of fire starts sounding
alarms or information to the nearest control point.
a) Manual Fire alarm System :
b) Automatic alarm System :
c) Heat detector :
62.
When a firestarts before the flame actually surface smoke is generated. These
devices are best suited for areas within a building when an anticipated fire would
produce a large column of smoke before the temperature of a fire is sufficient to
operate heat detectors.
d) Smoke detector :
63.
2. Fire ExtinguishingSystem :
The commonly adopted fire extinguishing systems are described below:
a) Manual Fire Extinguishing System :
Portable fire extinguisher can be of carbon dioxide type, large foam generation type and so
on. Depending upon the capacity, the discharge from a fire extinguisher may last 20 to 120
seconds. Sometimes buckets full of water and dry sand are also installed.
64.
b) Fire Hydrants:
Thisconsists in providing a l50mm diameter ring main outside in the
ground around the periphery of the building.
The ring main is fed from an underground water tank and it is ensured
that the 2 water pressure Available at each fire hydrant is of the order
of 3.5kg/cm .

c) Wet riserSystem:
1. 100 to 150 mm dia vertical G.I. Pipes at
suitable locations within the building.
2. The risers are fed from underground water
storage lank through a fire pump which supplies
water at 2 3kg/cm at the topmost outlet. Always
maintain pressure.
3. The wet risers have suitable connections at
each floor from where constant supply of water
can be drawn in the event of fire.

Types of Exits
Buildingcodes generally indicate what types of facilities
may qualify as exits. These usually include:
Exit Passageways
Horizontal extensions of vertical exits, or a passage leading from a yard or
court to an outdoor space. Minimum floor
to-ceiling height is the same as for
corridors. Width should be at least that of the vertical exit. Building codes may
require the passageway en
closures to have a 2-hr fire rating.
75.
Exit Doors-
doors providingaccess to streets
doors to stairs and exit passageways
Interior Stairs—stairs within a building that serve as an exit. Building codes
generally re
quire such stairs to be constructed of noncom
bustible materials but
may except one-story or two-story, low-hazard buildings.
There should be one exit door for every 50 persons.
Minimum width of the door is 1 m & height is 2 m.
The exit door should be side swinging.
