Submission Format:

The submission is in the form of an individual A4 word processed report. The selection of font face and size are at your discretion, but as a professional report, clarity and readability are essential.

Your report should include any calculations, drawings, sketches or other graphical material that is necessary. Any work which is not your own (images, photos, graphics or text) must be referenced using a standard form of citation.

Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO1 Identify pre-design information required for a non-domestic heating system

LO2 Analyse heating loads for non-domestic buildings.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Assignment Brief

You are employed as a trainee building services design engineer. As you are heading towards the completion of your company training scheme your manager has decided that you have gained enough experience to complete a design for a building heating system. They have also decided that your depth of knowledge and understanding can be assessed, and an additional supplementary design and comfort information should also be supplied as part of the process.

(Tutor to provide drawings of a building and all the other necessary information required)

You have been asked to provide information and relevant design calculations regarding a proposed non-domestic heating system which would be suitable for the building provided, including any possible sustainable options and other information that you may require. Your work should make reference to industry standard guides and legislation. 

Task 1:

Your proposal should include:

• An overview that explains the entire design process for the heating system.
• A discussion of the information that will be required for a heating system design brief.

Task 2:

Your proposal should include:

• Calculations to support the design of the system, including U values, heat loss and the total heating load.

Task 3

Your proposal should include:

• An analysis of the Legislation and Regulations that affect the design, installation, operation and health and safety aspects of the heating system.

Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO3 Design a non-domestic heating system for a given building type.

LO4 Justify the selection of nondomestic heating system components and installation strategy.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Assignment Brief

You are employed as a trainee building services design engineer by a medium-sized building services

engineering firm. Having completed the analysis of heating loads (from Assessment 1), you are now asked to undertake the design of the heating system and the various necessary components.

You have been provided with the drawings of a building and all the other necessary information about it, and you have the heating load analysis already completed.

(Tutor to provide drawings of a building and all the other necessary information required same as for Assignment 1)

Based on the information within the assessment brief you should:

Task 1

• Design the heating system, specifying the heat emitters to be used
• Consider alternative strategies to support sustainability Task 2
• Calculate the sizes of pipework necessary for the installation
• Calculate resistance in the index circuit
• Analyse and justify your design and component selection. Task 3
• Critically analyse a range of sustainable options suitable for the heating system in a given building.
