AR3403 Water Supply and Sanitation in Buildings Syllabus:

AR3403 Water Supply and Sanitation in Buildings Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES

 To introduce and give knowledge about the different environmental services for human environment- water supply, sewerage, drainage, waste management and plumbing systems.
 To give familiarity about sustainable practices and systems for environmental services.
 To enable the conceptual design of small buildings/ campuses for environmental services.

UNIT I WATER SUPPLY

Water supply system at macro level – sources, pumping, reservoirs, water treatment, tanks, piping systems and materials. Quantitative and qualitative requirements of water for different activities in a small building/campus of simple typologies. Overhead tanks, underground sumps, fire fighting storage, water meter, R.O. Plant, water heating systems, solar water heaters, fixtures and fittings for a small building/ campus. Design calculations for the same and related mechanical equipment. Sustainable practices and systems.
Site visits with documentation in the form of sketches/ drawings/ photos.

UNIT II SEWERAGE

Sewage and sullage. Sewerage systems. Different types/stages of sewage treatment at city level. Sewer line, gradients, manholes, inspection chambers. One pipe/ two pipe plumbing systems. Sewage treatment at campus/ building level -sewage treatment plants, septic tank, leach pits. Sustainable practices and systems.
Site visits with documentation in the form of sketches/ drawings/ photos.

UNIT III DRAINAGE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Storm water drains at city level. Types of pipe. Storm water gutter. Drainage systems in small building/campus. Roof drainage. Rain water harvesting and storage sumps. Sustainable practices
and systems.
Solid waste- types, segregation and refuse collection. Disposal – Incinerator, composting, vermicomposting, sanitary land filling, bio gas system, modern renewable energy system.
Site visits with documentation in the form of sketches/ drawings/ photos.

UNIT IV PLUMBING SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS

Basic principles of plumbing. Plumbing, sanitary fittings and their requirements for a small building – wash basins, water closets, urinals, bidets, sinks, gate valve, float valve, flap valve, ball valve, flush valve, etc, different types of taps, faucets, stop cocks, bib cocks, ‘P’, ‘Q’, ‘S’, floor/bottle traps.
Understanding of products, product catalogues, service drawings. Site visits with documentation in the form of sketches/ drawings/ photos.

UNIT V DESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

Site planning, building and room design principles for water supply, sewage and storm water in an integrated manner for a small building and campus. Understanding of service drawings. Site visits and documentation in the form of sketches/ drawings/ photos. Conceptual design for a small building.

OUTCOME

 Ability to understand environmental services from macro to micro level human environment.
 Ability to adopt sustainable practices and systems for environmental services.
 Ability to design environmental services in a building/ small campus.
