Subject Outline

This subject covers key elements of building services

and sustainability. We will look at main building

services such as heating, cooling, lighting, water,

sewage etc., and how these relate to occupants’

comfort. Sustainability is one of the key elements

of residential (homes), commercial (offi ces and

retail) and other building types (schools, hospitals,

factories, etc.) Most services we will discuss during

the semester use energy and other resources, so we

need to understand how to design and plan for these

effi ciently.

Material covered in this subject includes heating,

cooling, ventilation and air conditioning and related

comfort issues of indoor environment quality, room

acoustics and sound isolation. The subject will also

address services for vertical transportation, fi re

safety, lighting and electrical, telecommunications

and building management systems; as well as special

servicing conditions including hospitals, auditoria,

industrial buildings, commercial kitchens and district

services.

Strategies and technologies for improving systems

effi ciency will also be considered, such as displacement

ventilation, evaporative cooling and radiant cooling

systems, active solar heating and cooling systems,

façade systems, solar technologies, hybrid (mixed-

mode) systems, as well as environmental rating tools

for comparing building performance, and post-

occupancy evaluation.

On completion of the subject, you should be able to:

• Understand the principles and techniques of

environmental control systems.

• Integrate environmental controls and services into

architectural designs in a sustainable manner.

Our aims are:

• To give you the language and concepts to

understand what is needed to make homes and

buildings operational and comfortable.

• Where possible teach you useful rules of thumb

• To support you in your future career in the

industry through teaching you about regulations

and tools.

Online Learning

Every Friday afternoon, online material will be made

available to the students. The online learning content

will include an online lecture, readings from internet

resources and from the recommended textbook, and

videos. Students will be required to go through this

content before the following week’s lecture.

Lectures

Face-to-face lectures happen for two hours every

Tuesday at 4:15pm in the JH Mitchell Theatre, Peter

Hall Building (former Richard Berry). They will follow

up on the online content and introduce new concepts

on the week’s topic. The lectures will usually consist

of about an hour given by Xavier, followed by a

guest lecturer who will take over the second part.

The lecture slides will be made available before the

lecture. Lectures are recorded and the recordings

uploaded on the LMS within a day of the lecture.

The weekly quiz can happen at any point during the

lecture.

Tutorials

Tutorials are where students meet with their tutors.

Tutorials run every week for two hours on Thursdays

and Fridays. During the tutorials, the tutors will go

through the contents in more detail, and students will

have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the

content. The format of tutorials varies from week to

week, with the fi rst 5 weeks focused on Assignment 1,

and the rest of the semester shared between normal

in-class tutorial sessions, self directed sessions and

site visits. Please note that tutorial attendance is a

hurdle, and that all students are required to attend

at least 80% (9 tutorials out of 11) of their tutorials

in order to complete the subject.

Time Commitments

Time commitment for this subject is 120 hours, that is

2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of tutorials, and 6 hours

of reading, review and individual work per week.

Your assessments have been designed with this time

commitment in mind.

Course Structure

Social Media

We will also be integrating social media as a teaching

tool into the subject to improve communication

between the EBS team and the students. We have

set up a facebook page available at:

https://www.facebook.com/ABPL20036

This platform will be used to share useful online

resources, as well as being a discussion platform. All

critical information that you will need to successfully

complete the subject will be available on the LMS,

so students who do not have access to facebook, or

who voluntarily choose not to participate will NOT

be disadvantaged.

While the students are encouraged to post and

interact, activity will be monitored and any post that

is irrelevant, disrespectful in any way or which can

constitute misconduct will be censored.

ebs.TV is also an experimental Youtube project

that we have developed a year ago as a teaching

support tool.

Learning Management System (LMS)

The LMS will be the one place where all the material

will be uploaded to. There is a section for every

one of the 3 components (Online Learning, Lectures,

Tutorials) and each component is broken down week

per week.

The LMS is also where we will be making

announcements regarding important updates, and

the FAQ section is here to serve as a platform for

open discussion and sharing of resources.

Owing to the large amount of material mde

available on the LMS, the different components are

colour coded for easier organisation. The colour-

coding is as follows:

Online Learning Lectures Tutorials

One week before the assignment submission, we will

open a link on the LMS where students will be able

to submit their works to Turnitin.

All content (including lecture recordings) are

uploaded onto the LMS.

Students are expected to check their emails at least

onece a day.

Assessment

Assignment 1

Residential Services and Sustainability Design Assessment

The assessment component of this subject is broken down into 3 parts:

1. Assignment 1 (30%)

2. Weekly Quizzes (30%)

3. Final Examination (40%)

Introduction

This assignment will assess the students’ understanding

of residential EBS, and communicate their designs in

plans, sections, diagrams, and in words.

Brief

You are an ESD (environmentally sustainable design)

consultant and your client is a family of 4 (2 adults

and 2 children.) They own a plot of land in one of

Melbourne’s inner suburbs, and already have a

design for the house they want to build. They have

hired you to work on the design of the house and

integrate passive design strategies and services

to provide comfort to the occupants in the most

sustainable manner.

Your task is to produce a set of 10x A3 drawings to

document the strategies you are recommending:

• 1 site plan

• 1 house plan showing material and construction

choices

• 1 house plan showing passive thermal, solar

and ventilation strategies

• 1 house plan showing electrical/telecom layout

• 1 house plan showing water supply

• 1 house plan showing water drainage

• 1 house plan showing heating strategies

• 1 house plan showing cooling strategies

• 1 page for resilient design

• 1 First Rate assessment page

Scope of Intervention

As the main consultant on the project, you will

be allowed a signifi cant amount of freedom to

implement the strategies. However, there will be

aspects of the original design that are not to be

changed.

Aspects of the design that CAN be changed:

• Siting and orientation

• Construction types

• Construction materials (including fi nishes)

• Position, size and type of doors and windows

• Wall height

• Roof type

• Furniture layout

• Landscaping

Aspects of the design that CANNOT be changed:

• Position of internal and external walls.

• Room allocation (e.g. a room tagged as a

bedroom has to remain a bedroom).

• Room size (except when affected by wall

thickness).

• Position of fi ttings and fi xtures (e.g. toilets,

faucets, showers, island benches, built-in storage

etc)

• Mirroring is not allowed.

• Adding or removing rooms (including garage)

from the house is not allowed. Adding a

detached, external shed is allowed.

Marks and Assessment

The assignment is marked out of 100 and represents

30% of the total marks for the subject.

Pre-submission Assessment

During the weeks leading to the submission of the

assignment, drafts of the assignment will be assessed

as a work in progress. Failure to demonstrate

adequate weekly progress on specifi c sections will

results in a 25% penalty on the fi nal mark of the

said section.

Please note that the draft assessment will assess the

PROGRESS of the assignment, not its content. As long

as progress is demonstrated, students will not be

penalised for showing drafts that contain mistakes

and will have the ability to add/modify content

prior to the fi nal submission.

Similarly, a draft approved by the tutor does not

guarantee that the content is necessarily correct,

and it is the responsibility of the student to ensure

the accuracy of the assignment based on the content

delivered in class, the resources provided online and

the independent research conducted.

Sections under the pre-submission

assessment

The following sections will be assessed in the following

weeks. The minimum list of requirements is outlined.

Failure to meet any of these requirements will incur

the 25% penalty.

Remember that this checklist is the minimum

requirement for the pre-submission assessment. The

requirements for the fi nal submission are far more

comprehensive. Refer to the assignment matrix for a

more compresensive list of assessment criteria.

It is very important that student keep up with the

weekly tasks of the assignment right from the start

of semester. The assignment is long and complex,

and unless you diligently work on it from Tutorial 1,

you cannot expect to score a high mark, especially

since a lot of what is required for the last few A3

drawings will build from the content of the fi rst A3

drawings of the assignment.

A separate assignment template has been prepared

and is available on the LMS. Please refer to this

document for layout ideas.

Assignment 1

Final Submission

The submission date is Monday 28 August 2017

All the drawings have to be submitted in hard copy

to the assignment chute of the Baldwin Spencer

Building before 5:00pm, and in soft copy onto the

LMS via turnitin before midnight.

Each CALENDAR day the assignment is late will incur

a 10% penalty for the hardcopy submission, and a

5% penalty for the online submission.

Each hardcopy submission needs to be accompanied

by a signed coversheet. Submissions without a signed

coversheet will not be accepted, and late penalties

will apply until a proper coversheet is submitted.

Tips and advice before submitting

• When using colours for services, try to be as

logical as possible (eg blue for cold water and

red for hot water) and make sure the colours

contrast well (blue and pale blue on the same

drawing is a bad idea). Avoid yellow as much as

possible. Good colours to use are red, blue, dark

yellow, green, purple, orange, brown.

• Same goes for line types - if you are using

different dashed lines, make sure they are

clearly distinguishable from one another. Also

remember that dashed lines can also represent

services going overhead or underground.

• Colours and line weights look different on a

computer screen and on paper. Do test prints

early to make sure all the drawings will print

exactly the way you wanted them to.

• For those using AutoCAD, make sure your plot

styles are set properly for line thickness, colour

and type. If you don’t know how to use plot

styles, export your plans from AutoCAD and add

the coloured lines in InDesign or Illustrator.

• If you are using Photoshop, set your resolution

fairly high (minimum of 400DPI) since PS will

rasterise the plans and you may lose some of the

fi ner details if you work at low resolutions.

Please make sure to retain a digital copy of all

your work before submitting.

• Do regular backups of your work, regardless of

whether you are working a computer or doing

the drawings by hand.

• For those using a computer, keep updated copies

of your work on an external hard drive or on a

cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google

Drive. Hit the save button regularly!

• For those drawing by hand, have more

photocopies of your house plan than you think

you might need.

• Computer problems and coffee spilled on your

plans are NOT valid justifi cations for an extension.

• Do not wait until the last minute to print. There

are around 300 students enrolled in this subject

(not counting other submissions that may be at

the same time) and if all of you are queing at the

printroom at 4:00pm, you will have a hard time!

The MSD printroom is on level 1 (atrium level) but

the A3 printers tend to break down when they

print high volumes across the entire day. Some

libraries can print A3 B/W, but most will not do

A3 colour.

• Other places not far from the campus

where you can print include:

1. Scotts Printing on Swanston Street, opposite

&-eleven

2. Dinkums, further down Swanston Street

(opposite the RMIT design Hub)

3. AusCopy on Little Latrobe

4. Offi ceworks QV, accessed from Swanston

or Russel Streets. This particular

Offi ceworks is fairly busy all year round,

so expect queues there. Most Offi ceworks

will have printing facilities.

• Allow a lot more time than you think you need

for the printing. Ideally, you would aim to have

done all printing on the eve or early on the day

of submission.

• Generate and print your coversheet as soon as

it is available. Do not wait until the last minute

to do it as it is easy to fi ll it incorrectly when

you are rushing.

• There will be no stationery at the submission

chute for you to sign your coversheet or staple

your sheets together.

Communication

It is equally important for students to understand

concepts and principles, and communicate them

effectively graphically and in words.

Effective communication does not necessarily mean

pretty or stylist - we are aware that many students

at this stage of their studies are still developing their

drawing and representational skills, and that for

many, English is not a fi rst language. However simple

clean drawings and a simple accurate language can

be powerful communication mediums.

Communication starts to fail when the person reading

the assignment needs to start guessing what has been

shown; this can come down to any number of reasons,

from the use of inappropriate volabulary, incorrect

sentense structures, to the use of wrong colours or

line types, or poor printing quality.

Students should be mindful of this as even if there

are signs in an assignment that suggest that the

concepts have been understood, if not presented

properly the assignment will be marked down on its

communication.

Mark allocation

Each sheet of the assignment is weighted equally

at 10% (for a total of 100% for the 10 sheets).

Please note that even if no marks are allocated to

referencing, the complete absence of references

and sources will be penalised.

As mentioned previously, the quality of the

presentation is an important aspect of the assignment,

and for each sheet, 40% of the marks will be

allocated to presentation, and 60% to the content.

Submission requirements and checklist

Besides the content requirement, the submissions

will also need to follow a specifi c format. Use the

checklist below to make sure you are are fulfi lling

all the required format. Failure to satisfy one or

more of the criteria will result in a 10% penalty.

 Drawings to be printed single-sided colour A3

Each drawing sheet should have a title block

containing:

 Name and student number

 Title of drawing

 Legend

 Scale

 North Point

 Filled coversheet printed on A4 and attached to

the front of the assignment

 Declaration on coversheet is signed

 QR code on coversheet appears at the top of

coversheet

 All pages are properly secured together with

ONE staple on the top left corner of the sheet

set.

Do NOT submit assignments that are:

 Not secured together, as loose sheets

 Held together using paper clips

 In plastic or cardboard envelopes/folders

 In brown paper bags

 In transparent sleeves

 In display books

 Rolled up in a tube

 Bound (spiral, comb, thermal, ring etc)

Plagiarism is the act of representing as one’s own original work the creative works of another, without appropriate

acknowledgment of the author or source.

Collusion is the presentation by a student of an assignment as his or her own which is in fact the result in whole

or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of

two or more students in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct.

Plagiarism and collusion are offenses taken very seriously by the University, and penalties can range from a

zero grade in the assignment to expulsion from the University in extreme cases.

For more information please go to the academic honesty website at https://academichonesty.unimelb.edu.au

Plagiarism and Collusion

Assignment 1

Assignment Matrix

The assigment matrix lists all the elements that need to be included in the assignment. The students are advised

to work according to the matrix, as the latter is what will be used by the tutors to mark the assignments. Simply

addressing each criterion will allow you to pass the assignment. However, highmarks will be awarded for

innovative, sustainable, effi cient and elegant solutions.

Weekly Quizzes

Every week, a quiz will be conducted during the

Tuesday lecture. There will be 11 quizzes over the

semester, starting in Week 2, with each quiz worth

3% of the semester’s assessment. Your best 10 quiz

results will make up 30% of your total class grade.

There will be 6 assessible questions in each quiz

and every question will be based on the information

presented in the online content for that week.

The quizzes can be conducted at any point during

the lectures using Poll Everywhere, and you will have

50 seconds to answer each question in the lecture

theatre before the polling for each question closes.

Attendance at the lectures is required to participate

in the quizzes, so you should consider deferring your

enrolment in this subject if you have clashes, or can’t

commit to Tuesdays between 4:15pm and 6:15pm.

If a student misses any quizzes he/she will need to

have a relevant medical certifi cate or other excuses,

in order to receive an exemption for that week’s quiz.

Setting up your PollEv

Students are pre-registered and only need to sign in

the EBS Poll in order to particpate in the quiz.

Step 1: Open your browser and go to:

www.pollev.com/abpl20036

Step 2: Click on login/signin

Step 3: Enter your student email. The format should

be username@student.unimelb.edu.au

Your username is the same one you use to

log onto the LMS

Step 4: Enter the password ebs2017

Step 5: Login

The interface may be slightly different on a laptop,

tablet or mobile phone, but the process is the same.

A Poll Everywhere mobile application exists, but we

will not be able to provide support if you choose to

use it.

Final Exam Hurdle Requirement

Student Policy

The 2-hour fi nal exam will consist of 10 written

questions, and can include sketches and diagrams.

Students will be provided with a practice exam

during the Week 11 tutorial. The exam will not test

students on their ability to remember facts - it will

mainly test that the students can take the information

from the subject and use it in a logical and analytical

manner.

It is open book, meaning that students are allowed to

bring any printed subject material and other paper

resources with them in the exam. However, we do

encourage students to spend time preparing and

sorting their exam notes and be very selective in

what to bring in. Only one binder and one text book

will be allowed inside the examination room.

The exam is worth 40% of the subject and has a

hurdle requirement, with a pass mark of 40%.

One of the University’s requirements is that students

need to attend at least 80% of their tutorials in

order to complete the subject (which adds up to 9

tutorial sessions out of 11). Attendance is a hurdle

requirement for this subject. Students who do not

meet this hurdle will receive an NH grade for the

subject.

Attendance can only be waivered for unforseen

circumstances (eg medical emergencies) and need to

be supported by proper documentation (eg medical

certifi cates). Note that circumstances related to work

and family commitment, clashes with other subjects,

public transport delays etc are NOT considered

unforseen. Tutors reserve the right to mark students

as absent if they are consistently late

Please familiarise yourself with the student policy - this document contains a list of policies that are relevant

for students. A copy of the student policy can be found on the LMS. Please note that any subject requirement

outlined in the handbook takes precedence over the student policy.

Assessment Notes

Weekly Outline

Week 1 will introduce you to the subject content,

structure and assessment. The standards expected

from students will be made clear, and we will

draw a roadmap of what the following 12 weeks

will be like. There will be a presentation of past

student experience, and Jim will give insights from

his experience in the industry and the importance of

understanding the concepts taught in EBS.

The fi rst quiz will be run during the lecture, but will

not be assessed. During tutorials, your tutors will

introduce you to Assignment 1 and will distribute all

the required materials.

Week 2 will introduce basic principles and

terminology of passive design and how it can be

implemented in residential projects in particular. The

material covered in Lecture 2 is directly relevant to

the 1. Site Plan, 2. Material and Construction Plan,

3. Passive Thermal Plan and 10. Energy Assessment

Sheet.

A quiz will be run during the lecture, and will be

assessed from then on.

Guest Lecturer - Ben Callery

Week 5 will introduce the concept of resilience and

will discuss the current paradigm shift in sustainability.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed.

The tutorial will take place at the Burnley Campus

where students will get the chance to see a green

roof.

Tutorial 5 will be the last tutorial before submission

of Assignment A1.

Week 6 will be the fi rst week where Commercial

design will be introduced. The same themes as those

introduced in Residential will be covered, but on a

larger and more complex scale.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. During tutorials, your tutors will take you

out on a treasure hunt around the campus to look for

and discuss facades, passive systems, environmental

systems and services.

There may be a prize available for the winners of

the treasure hunt.

Week 7 will introduce active services on a commercial

scale (mainly HVAC systems). Commercial HVAC

is probably one of the most complex topics of this

subject and will heavily be supported by additional

resources.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. Half of the tutorial will take place in class,

where commercial HVAC will be discussed, and for

the other half of the tutorial, your tutor will take you

on a tour of the Alan Gilbert plant room where you

will have the opportunity to see live HVAC equipment

functioning.

Week 8 is a continuation of active systems, with a

focus on leading technologies. Case studies from

Melbourne, Australia and overseas will be used to

illustrate the examples discussed.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. There will be no tutorial on that week.

However, there will be an online exercise that you

will be expected to complete. The exercise can be

done from home.

Week 9 will discuss fi re prevention and regulation

in commercial buildings, as well as vertical

transportation, and how these two concepts are

closely connected. Adrian will present the Fire part,

while Xavier will talk about Vertical Transportation.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. Half of the tutorial will take place in

class where fi re and vertical transportation will be

discussed and for the second half of the tutorial,

your tutors will take you around the MSD building

to physically explore vertical transportation and fi re

services.

Week 10 will introduce commercial lighting, and

discuss the different factors that affect comfort inside

a commercial building.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. During the tutorials, your tutors will help you

through the Lumen Method, a mathematical method

used to calculate how many lamps and luminaires

are required to achieved specifi c light levels in a

space.

Week 11 will discuss basic acoustic theories, building

acoustics and how certain design and building

features can help or hinder proper acoustics. Amanda

will conduct live acoustic tests during the lecture.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. Half of the tutorials will take place in

class where acoustics will be discussed and for the

second half of the tutorial, your tutors will take you

around The Spot Building to look at some innovative

technologies and acoustic strategies.

You will also be given a practice exam that you are

expected to prepare before Week 12’s tutorial.

Week 12 will discuss building classifi cations and will

also briefl y talk about biophilic design and the role

of plants. Week 12 will also be the revision week,

where a summary will be given during the second

half of the lecture.

A quiz will be run during the lecture and will be

assessed. The quiz will potentially assess material

covered throughout the entire semester. During

tutorials, you will have the chance to do the practice

exam and discuss your answers with your classmates

and tutors. Tutorial 12 will be the last time you will

offi cially see your tutors before the exams.
