The document discusses the key considerations for various utility systems for a site including potable water supply and fire protection sources and quality, drainage systems for sanitary and storm water including disposal methods, electrical power sources and distribution, mechanical systems for vertical transportation and HVAC, acoustical technologies, and automation systems for surveillance, communication, and computers. Location of systems on site, types of construction, zoning regulations, load requirements, and costs are also covered at a high level.

1. UTILITIES CONCEPT WATER SYSTEMS Potable water supply Fire Protection system Location on site, Source of water, Quality of water Pressure of water supply Cost of systems installed Possible locations in site Type of Construction Type of materials Zoning Regulations

2. UTILITIES CONCEPT DRAINAGE SYSTEMS Sanitary Systems Storm Drainage Systems Disposal system Volume of waste disposed Types of Wastes Canals, creeks, catch basin Terrain of site Recycling potential Location within site

3. UTILITIES CONCEPT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Power source Load Requirements Meralco or local company Solar panels/ wind turbines Generators Distribution system Location within building

4. UTILITIES CONCEPT MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Vertical Transportation HVAC Elevator Escalator Frequency of use Speed Volume of passengers Passive or active cooling Orientation No of users Space volume Location

5. UTILITIES CONCEPT ACOUSTICAL AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS Environmental acoustics Direction of sound/ point of origin of sound Function of an enclosure Technologies available Surveillance System Communication Computers Cost of Automation AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
