“SFEEP” consultation
Briefing outline
“SFEEP” consultation assignment works closely together with your Second year Design Project. You are required to
produce consultation documentation which indicates the ability of your design to satisfy building regulations,
human comfort and environmental requirements. The submission consists of 3xA1 Pages submitted in portfolio
sleeves. Each page content is to be according to strict requirements. Use the brief as a check list.
General Page Layouts
Pages are to be orientated landscape. Upper left corner is to hold the assignment name and appropriate page
indicator and its name. This is to be followed with student name and number. Pages should be on white background
with legible size text suitable for pinup.
Page 1- Structure
-You are to include a section trough the whole or part of the building in 1:50 scale. The drawing should show the full
height/extent of the building. The detailing level should be appropriate to 1:50 scale drawing. All primary structure
elements need to be highlighted with light gray color. Line weight needs to be appropriate. The section should be
accompanied with a small plan diagram showing where the section is made trough.
-You are to indicate 3 primary details (usually: roof to wall, wall to window, wall to foundation) connection locations.
These are than to be shown separately in 1:10 scale with appropriate detailing level. Each component of the detail
drawings needs to be appropriately identified. Each primary structure element needs to be accompanied with
appropriate dimensions. Note: design u-values should satisfy the BREEAM guidelines with maximum Roof 0.16W/m2K, Wall 0.2W/m2K and windows 1.8W/m2K.
-Show calculation of U-value of wall and roof. Indicate window product used with appropriate U-value. Calculate
total heat loss of the building.
-Show or explain how coldbridging is avoided. Make temperature calculations at particular point. This is to be
specified identified by your tutor. Make calculations for what is the maximum temperature difference between
inside and outside when risk of condensation occurs.
-You are to include a 3D render or photograph of a physical model that clearly illustrates the primary structural
system of your proposal . This should be annotated to show the three main loads and how these are dispersed to
the foundations. Due to your structural system being framed system show how your building resists lateral/cross
loads.
-Write a general explanation about how your building stands up and what solutions are used to ensure stability of
the structure.
-Identify any/main building regulations in particular from Part A that your design is compliant with.
Page 2- part 1 Fire
This section is to take 1/2 of the A1 page
-You are to show floor plans indicating the compartmentation zones and evacuation routes from the building.
Evacuation routes should be accompanied with distance measurements. Evacuation route distances and angles need
to be compliant with Part B of building regulations. Clearly identify all entrances to the building. On the plans also
indicate location of:
- Smoke detectors (identified with “S”)
- Heat detectors (identified with “H”)
- Firehose location if any (identified with “F”)
- Fire extinguisher (identified with “E”)
- Fire blanket (identified with “B”)
- Fire escape route plan (identified with “FP”)
-On a typical plan indicate access route for fire engines and what proportion of the building is accessible from the fire
engine. Indicate: Vertical evacuation routes, Fire shaft locations, Fire mains locations or provision of hydrant. Show
maximum distances for fire hoses as required by building regulations.
-Write a general statement in how your building ensures resistance of fire and safe evacuation of building
inhabitants.
-Identify any/main building regulations in particular from Part B that your design is compliant with.
Page 2- part 2 Electricity
This section is to take 1/4 of the A1 page
-On a typical building plan show location of meter room. Indicate typical wire routes and indicate locations of fuse
boxes. Show separate wire system if you are using localized energy generating systems.
-Show typical plan of studio apartment. Indicate location of fuse box, locations of power sockets, light switches and
light sources.
-Include explanation text as might be required
Page 2- part 3 Plumbing, drainage and sewage
This section is to take 1/4 of the A1 page
-Show a site plan. On building roof indicate direction of rainwater flow and show locations of gutters. Show if
combined or separate drainage and sewage system is used. Show how building sewage system is connected to the
city grid. Show locations of inspection chambers and access points. Indicate where connection with city grid is
established. Show how building sewage system is connected to the city grid. Indicate gradients and sizes of pipework.
-Show a typical building plan. Indicate location of plant room. Show what systems are used in the building to heat
water. Show on a plan how hot and cold water is dispersed trough the building. Indicate the location of vertical
service riser. On building plan show where sewage pipework is located.
-Include explanation text as might be required
Page 3- Environment, Ventilation and Energy
-In relation to due south, illustrate on a plan or 3D diagram the orientation of your building . Illustrate how the local
topography , orientation and context has influenced your building form. In addition, include how the prevailing
winds, has defined the Architecture, if at all.
-Use software or manually analyse which parts of the building are most exposed to the solar radiation.
-Create sectional diagram explaining how the building envelope helps your building save energy. You should have
four diagrams: summer day&night, winter day&night. Show systems used to conserve energy for heating and/or
cooling of the building. These can be either passive or active systems.
-Show part of building envelope to approximately 1:20 scale. Show how the localized space is designed to react to
changing environment. Identify any components essential for this.
-Create a 3D model of one structural bay of building, showing all the building envelope layers and its connection to
a typical floor. Show how this space reacts to high and low sun angle.
-You are to show a diagram plan indicating areas needing special ventilation and/or temperature requirements.
-Show a plan and a section. Indicate the location of plant room. Indicate if mechanical ventilation system is one way
or two way system. Indicate locations of air intake and exhaust. Show how ventilation ducting is spread around the
building. Indicate the location of vertical service core.
-Make calculations for size of ductwork in service risers and speed of air flow.
-Show a diagram how mechanical ventilation works together with natural ventilation.
-Identify what systems are used to minimize ventilation energy use.
-Include explanation text as might be required.
-Identify any/main building regulations in particular from Part F that your design is compliant with
