Mechanical Systems • How important mechanical Systems in the building? – Mechanical systems constitute more than 30% of the cost in office buildings

Design Problems!!!

Lack of Coordination Overemphasizing a determinate

Aesthetics override performance Cost overrides performance

Integrated Building Systems • In a successfully designed project, building systems, materials, and products must be integrated to create a unified whole that achieves the desired functional purpose. • An integrated solution results from a design approach that considers the characteristics of each component proposed in the project and searches for opportunities for dual functions or for sharing of volume.
