 Mechanical Systems


    There different types of fuel or energy that can be used and the debate of fossiel fuel engery versus renewable energy of if it is afforable and reliable for daily use and what are the pros and cons of using this type of fuels or energy,

The talk about using renewable energy has been going on for a while like using Solar panels in homes that mostly be attached to the roofs of houses this is on type of renewable energy the other types are wind, water and geothermal energy this are types that can be found anywhere but some of the cons of it is that relability since the types of energy realay on the type of weather conditions like the wind energy and water energy.




The types of non renewable energy is Coals, Oil and natural gas pros of this that people already know that the effective and is used by many people for years such as Oil that us used on 99% of vehicles and natural gases that people used on the stoves for cooking but is very dangerous to use since if the gas line breaks it could cause and explosion to happen and it not safe to breathe hence some people starting to use electric stoves in some of their homes.




The mechanical systems such as HVAC that is used for ventilation, heating and Air conditioning which people have in this homes and workplaces.

Indoor Environmental Quality

  Indoor Environmental Quality      The acoustics are an important consideration while doing interior design, since the acoustics are how sound travels around a space, and it is important to know, since in commercial spaces, you wouldn't want people to hear important and private information during a meeting. The three main principles of sound control are Noise Reduction coefficient (NRC) and Sound Transmission Class (STC), and Transmission Loss ( TL) Reverberation Time (RT) refers to the sound that builds up over time and can be controlled. This is done in classrooms and auditoriums. image of Reverberation Time  When it comes to acoustical privacy for medical facilities, HIPAA) It is important since hospitals contain private information on their patients, which is crucial that sound doesn't transmit to other areas. The same can be said for offices like marketing or finance, whic...

Flooring

  Flooring Three flooring framing systems are made of wood, steel, and concrete.  The type of wood floor framing is Light framing or Heavy timber framing. The difference between the two is that the light frame needs multiple wood joists in order to carry the load, while the Heavy timber frames rely on the columns and beams to help it carry the load. Wood floor framing Something that architects need to know is that when it comes to steel framing, it relies on where the columns are placed that help support the steel beams, and then they pour concrete on them to hold them in place. steel floor framing For concrete floor framing, the way it is installed is that it is poured in place on the site, but one must keep in mind that, in doing this method, once it is poured, it is not easy to remove or to change, since concrete dries up once it is poured in the hole for the floor framing. For the Int...

Interior Building Systems

  Interior Building Systems       When working with a building's interior designer, it is essential to know where the wiring will be placed , as most commercial or residential buildings have wiring installed in the walls. Some wiring is required for internet connections or telephone lines, but some people are opting for wireless service instead. When working to make a building energy-efficient and sustainable, we need to collaborate with the HVAC and lighting systems to find ways to conserve energy. Something that interior designers need to consider is visual control for security, much like in hospitals, offices, or stores, where private information or valuable objects are present, necessitating the use of effective security systems and alarms. One type of security system used in prisons, retail malls, and schools is called Lockdown Systems, which electronically closes all doors and shuts down an entire building, pre...
