Hi all,

I am working on a group project at my university, which consists of designing a building to accommodate 200 members of staff. This involves designing the utilities.

Open space design.
Office Layout 60m² by 60m²
Toilets: 50/50 Split between women and men. water supply sizing , drainage sizing.
Kitchen / Canteen: water supply sizing , drainage sizing
Boiler - Sizing , Make, Model
Storage type - Wholesome and Heating storage; i.e. Cylinders, Tanks
Renewable technologies - air source pumps, ground source pumps
Under floor heating - type and sizing
Water mains sizing and connections
Gas mains sizing and connections
Electrical sizing and connections

Any input would be gratefully appreciated. If more information is required then.

Paul , the forum is maned by plumbers / heating engineers who give their time for free, it is a great forum , but IMO you are asking more than enough there . You need to employ somebody to design all that lot , however others on here may feel different .

Many thanks to your replies and completely understand where you are coming from and wouldn’t want to take your knowledge and experience for granted. I understand it is a lot to ask and apologise, I was in class at the time of my message and didn’t digest what I was actually asking for . I suppose I was looking more into what factors I would need to look into more than an actual detailed design. Thanks
