In this project, a specific criteria has to be followed to form an integrated design for the masjed which includes architectural, structural, electrical, environmental, and mechanical. The architectural design considers the shape of the building, personnel movement and the appropriate functionality for each facility. As for the environmental aspect, the design will include the orientation of the building and type of insulation used in the building. Ecotect and design builder computer programs will be used to achieve various environmental requirements. The mechanical design involves designing suitable HVAC system, water, septic tank and sanitary systems.
In the structural design, the structure will be represented in a 3-D model which accounts for dynamic analysis and seismic design using Etabs program. Finally, electrical design of the structure will be performed to satisfy lighting and power system requirements.
At the end of this project, a report that includes all design details, a table of quantities and shop drawings will be submitted.
