(12)

FLOOR SPACE REQUIREMENT

i) Office area requirement divided into two parts ;

• public space is calculated as (individual space + no. of people) + circulation space (generally 15%)

• Non public space (e.g. machine room, equipment room depending upon equipment size) + circulation space

ii) The space requirement of employees depend upon various factors like type of work, use of equipments & degree of privacy no of visitors etc.

iii) Calculation of space requirement for workstation is as follows

work room, min 8.0m2 - 10m2 of floor area

free circulation space ,min 1.5 m2per employee, but not

less than 1m.

iv) The floor to ceiling height according to floor area as follows up to 50 m2 2.50m over 50 m2 2.75m over 100 m2 3.00m over 250 up to 2000 m2 3.75m FURNITURE REQUIREMENT

Proper furniture arrangement

enhances the functionality and beauty of office space. The suitability of

furniture is influenced by flexibility, durability and adjustability.

The space requirement for seating , standing is used to calculate min.

clearance between individual and desk ( preferably1m)

(13)

Chair types are often choose according to job titles and the tasks

individual is to perform . Various considerations are to be carefully reviewed in order to select a chair i .e ., seat height, adjustability,

back and arm support, firmness, etc

..

SPACE ANALYSIS FOR VARIOUS OFFICE SPACES

• PRIVATE OFFICES

• GENERAL OFFICE AND MULTIPLE WORKSTATION • RECEPTION AREA

• CONFERENCE HALLS PRIVATE OFFICE ANALYSIS –

• The design of the private office requires a Knowledge of the basic

dimensional requirements and clearances of the executive workstation and, where applicable, of visitor seating Accommodations

• Various space areas of private offices are 1. office employee 4.5 m2 2. secretary 6.7 m2 3. manager 9.3 m2 4. director 13.4 m2 5. assistant vice president 18.5 m2 6. vice president 28.0 m2

(15)

GENERAL OFFICE AND MULTIPLE WORKSTATION

• The design of the general office, like the design of the private office, requires a knowledge of the basic dimensional requirements and clearances of the workstation and, where applicable, of the visitor seating to be accommodated.

• The multiple requires understanding the anthropometric considerations for the planning and design of the general office . The work task zone must be large enough to accommodate the paperwork, equipment, and other accessories that support the user.

In no case should this distance be less than the 30 in, or 76 .2 cm, needed to provide adequate space for the chair clearance zone . The visitor seating zone, ranging

in depth from 30 to 42 in, or 76 .2 to 106 .7 cm, requires the designer to accommodate both the buttock-knee

and buttock-toe length body dimensions of the larger user.

14

Minimum space of work zone is 3.3m2

(16)

RECEPTION AREA

Proper design of the reception area is critical in communicating an

organization's desired corporate image. Reception spaces are both the first and last areas with which the visitor interacts and, accordingly, have

considerable visual impact in communicating that image.

The reception space look attractive, but it must function properly as well The two most important planning elements in this regard are the visitor's seating area and the receptionist's workstation or Desk .

(17)

CONFERENCE HALL

• Conference hall is important part of office which is required to conduct meetings.

• Conference hall consist of different shapes of tables , arrangements and area according to the numbers of persons to be seated.

• Consideration must be given to clearances and circulation around the larger conference table, as indicated

ROUND TABLE Reflects equality, encouragesinteraction, and promote visual communication Problem solving RECTANGULAR/ BOAT TABLE Promote communication b/w The group head and the team Member allow free movement

• AUDITORIUM

(20)

AUDITORIUM

An auditorium is important area for performing art the aim is to serve the audiences.

Design Considerations

• Layout per applicable building and life safety codes, regulations, and ordinances .

• Allow sufficient distance between aisles for desired quantity and size of chairs plus end space.

• Space rows to allow for proper seat to back clear space..

• Allow 1" minimum clearance from either side or rear of chair to any adjacent side wall, end walls, etc.

• Provide adequate sightlines for either sloping or stepped (riser) floor configurations.

• Seating area should be free of obstructions .

• To allow for sufficient aisle illumination : Aisle lights are generally located in the end panel standards at least every other row. Locate aisle light junction box 6" from the standard .

• Provide adequate floor or riser materials for sound anchorage. Seating capacity –

The maximum capacity depend upon the format selected and limitation by the production. other factor that influence are levels, slightness acoustic circulation etc.

Size of auditorium –

An area of at least 0.5 m2 per spectator is applied. this is derived from seat width x row spacing of

at least .45m2 per seat + additional space 0.05m2 per seat.

Length of row –

A maximum of 16 seats per aisle.25 seat is permissible in aisle if one side exit door of 1m width is provided.

(21)

Proportion of auditorium –

These are obtained by the spectator perception and good viewing angle. a) Good view without head movement, but slight eye

movement of about 30

b) Good view with slight head movement and slight eye movement approx. 60

c) Maximum perception angle without head movement. is about 110.

Exit ,escape routes – 1m wide per 150 persons (min 0.8m

)

Seat width –

Min. width is .45m to .6m

Angle A:

Shifting position to look between heads in row immediately in front of spectator and over all other heads. Angle 8:

Shifting position to look between heads of two rows immediately in

(22)

RULE of THUMB for SEATING AREA

:

Allow 0.5m2 per Seat, including Aisles and Cross-over. This is sufficiently accurate for preliminary planning.

ACOUSTICAL TREATEMENT

The minimum standard of sound reduction likely to be required in an

auditorium in a city to protect it against external noise is of the order of 65 dB. This reduction should be provided on all sides, but

it would be reasonable to make the roof insulation

5-10 dB less provided the building is not unduly exposed to noise from aircraft in-flight. Surrounding the auditorium with ancillary rooms and foyers is an obvious and invaluable planning method of obtain the required insulation against outdoor noise.

The insulation of the internal walls should be adequate to protect the auditorium from these noise sources and the insulation should not be by-passed by

openings, doorways, etc.

The adequate absorbing surfaces should be provided in the hall to control the reverberation.

Such areas include rear walls, balcony parapet, concave surfaces etc.

Porous material are used for absorbing the sound .such materials are quilts, wool, gypsum board etc.

(23)

EXHIBITION AREA

• Art galleries/exhibition area are used for collecting and displaying of various forms of material evidence.

• Nowadays they are considered as a „cultural centre'.

• The normal human angle of vision starts 27˚ up from eye level.

• For the standing viewer this means that well lit pictures should be hung 10m away with the top not more than 4.9m above the eye level and the bottom about 70 cm below.

• It is necessary to allow 3.5m2 hanging surface per picture, 6-10m2 ground surface per sculpture and 1m2 cabinet space.

• Favored viewing space is between 30 to 60 up measured from the point in the middle of the floor.

• Sill height of 2.13 m for pictures and a viewing range of 3.0 – 3.65 m for sculpture.

RESTAURANT

The basic components of any restaurant interior are the chair and the table. Depending upon restaurant type, menu, service,

'We setting, furniture selection, and degree intimacy required, table size and overall air space requirements can, and should,

nary greatly.

To eat comfortably one person require a table area of around 2‟0” wide and 1‟4” deep. This provide sufficient clearance space for adjacent dinner.

Round table or table for six or eight people diameter 0f 3‟0” – 4‟0” are ideal for 4 persons and can also take one or more dinners.

The best utilization of space can often be arrived at through the use of templates or scaled models . Diagonal arrangement of square tables utilizes space better then square arrangement and yields a more trouble free traffic lone

BARS

• The distance between bar and back bar should allow adequate workspace . A minimum of 36 in, or 90 cm, should provide space for one bartender to serve and another to circulate behind . A one-bartender operation would require a 30-in, or 75-cm, clearance .

• A 12-in, or 30-cm wide stool on 24-in, or 61-cm, centers,

which is quite common, will allow only less than 5 percent of male users access to the stool without disturbing the next patron, while a 30-in, or 75-cm, spacing will accommodate

95 percent of the users .

(31)

GYMNASIUM

• Gymnasium is basically fitness area to carry out exercise

and other physical activity like aerobics etc. it consist of various kinds of equipments arranged in the room for exercise purpose. Besides these it requires consultant office

changing rooms, locker shower area etc.

• For 40-45 users ,room size at least 200m2 is needed. • Clear height is 3.0m

• For an optimum double row arrangement of machines, the room at least 6m wide.

• To allow clear supervision the room should be at least 15m length or more.

(32)

Four level basement parking is allowed. In which 15% is open or

surface parking and 85% is covered parking.

Max. floor height is 4.5 m.

Surface parking Basement parking Dimension of vehicle Car 5.0m x 2.5m Two wheeler 2.5m x 0.5m Turning radius -Inner radius 3.5m Outer radius 5.0m

SURFACE PARKING- (15% of total)

A major consideration in the design of any parking area is simplicity . The three basic dimensions of any parking layout are: (1) the length and width of car stalls, (2) the width of aisles, and (3) the angle between car stall and aisle. Aisle width is related to stall width and angle of stalls.

Width of aisle – 24‟ for 90˚ parking

13‟ for 45˚ parking

45 parking 90 parking

(33)

BASEMENT PARKING- (85% of total) Ramp Slopes

The maximum ramp slope should be 20 percent. For slopes over 10 percent, a transition at least 8 ft long should be provided at each end of the ramp at one half the slope of the ramp itself .

Ramps may be straight, curved, or a combination

.

Ramp Width and Radii

For one-way straight ramps, minimum width is 12 ft (3 .66

m); and for two-way straight ramps, where opposing traffic flows are not separated, 22 ft (6 .71 m) is the recommended minimum width. Where a barrier is used between lanes to separate traffic flows, each lane should be at least 12 ft (3 .66 m) wide for tangent lengths. Circular ramp lanes generally should be 14-18 ft (4 .3-5 .5 m) wide

V

ARIOUS CONSIDERATION….

Various consideration kept in mind for designing energy efficient Building

are-i) Building should be designed and orient according to solar path and wind direction.

ii) Maximum glazing on north. While recessed windows or shading devices on east or west side of building.

iii) Provide soft landscape around building and avoid high reflective road. The external open spaces grass pavers and plants around the

perimeter of the building to reduce glare inside.

iv) Central ,open spaces landscape courtyard that will contribute towards keeping the building cool during the summer months.

v) Thick vegetation around the building forms good buffer and help to keep the surrounding shaded and cool the hot winds.

vi) Light colored surface finish should be used.

vii) Use of renewable resources in the form solar panels, solar heaters to minimize load to non renewable resources.

viii) Terrace garden or use of creepers on the roof to have insulate property and minimize the heat gain.

Architects can achieve energy efficiency in the buildings they design by studying the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking advantage of the desirable conditions. Some common design elements that directly Nor indirectly affects thermal comfort conditions and thereby the energy

consumption in a building are

(44)

(a) landscaping, (b) courtyard,

(c) location of water bodies, (d) orientation,

(e) building envelope and fenestration.

Landscaping

Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper landscaping reduces direct sun from striking and heating up of building surfaces.

Landscaping creates different airflow patterns and can be used to direct or divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference.

Additionally, the shade created by trees and the effect of grass and shrubs reduce air temperatures adjoining the building and provide evaporative cooling.

Courtyard effects

Courtyard plays important role in energy efficient buildings as .

at night, the warm roof surfaces get cooled by convection and radiation If the roof surfaces are sloped towards the internal courtyard, the cooled air sinks into the court and enters the living space through low-level openings, gets warmed up, and leaves through higher-level openings. However, care should be taken that the courtyard does not receive intense solar radiation, which would lead to conduction and radiation heat gains into the building. Intensive solar radiation in the courtyard also produces immense glare.

Buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious

environmental problems because of excessive consumption of energy and other natural resources.

E

NERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILDING ……

Energy efficiency can be achieved in the buildings by Studying and designing the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking advantage of the desirable conditions.

(45)

Orientation

The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the south/ south-east during summer

East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.

Materials and construction techniques

Choice of building materials is very imp in reducing the energy content of buildings. Reducing the strain on conventional

energy can be achieved by low-energy bldg With low-energy materials, efficient

structure Design reducing the quantities of high-energy building materials and transportation energy. Depending on the climatic needs proper roof treatment

is very essential.

Finishes

The external finish of a surface determines the amount of heat absorbed or reflected by it. For example, a smooth and light color surface reflects more light and heat in comparison to a dark color surface. Lighter color surfaces have higher emissive and should be ideally used for warm climate

.

Hence there is need to adopt various energy efficient techniques in the

building

Use renewable energy systems (solar photovoltaic systems/ solar water heating systems) to meet a part of building load

Use low energy materials and methods of construction and reduce transportation energy An architect also should aim at efficient structural design, reduction of use of high energy building material (glass, steel etc.) and transportation energy and use of low energy buildings materials

Building orientation is a significant design consideration,

mainly with regard to solar radiation and wind.

With careful design, shading and deflecting devices can be incorporated to exclude the sun or redirect it into the building, just as wind can be diverted or directed to the extend

desired.

• The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the north/ north-west during summer

East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be

possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.

Planting deciduous trees on the southern side of a building is beneficial in a composite climate. Deciduous plants such as these trees shed leaves in winter, they allow the sun to heat the buildings in winter.

• Wind breaks are provided in the north and north-east to protect from the winter winds.

Central open space or courtyard is most pleasant space because it exclude the

(87)

CONCEPT

Since the building is located in an I.T sector of mohali, it demands to

fulfill all the newest design concepts and services to be incorporated.

The site is flat but very rectangular in shape, which makes it difficult

to use the site in its best possible way. Keeping this in mind the

complex has been designed with linkage of several buildings with

diverse shapes and heights through out the site, giving an interesting

skyline to the frontage of the site.

The back side of side consists of residences which are not disturbed

by the tall buildings of the complex, instead it provides a view of the

blend of open spaces with water bodies and green areas with the

complex shapes of the structures, giving an urban eco friendly

environment to the locality.

The arrangement of the buildings has been done in such a way that it

provides with a central piazza with fountains and green area, this

area is shaded with a tall building on the south cutting the hot sun of

summers, giving a cool environment to the complex.

The orientation of the buildings could not be kept north-south due to

less depth of the site, but this fault has been covered by using

bri-soliel (exterior louver shaped projections), letting in the north light

and cutting the high altitude summer sun.

The overall concept of the design is that the building is a perfect

blend of natural environment with urban environment, fulfilling the

requirements of the present era, where there is less space and more

of amenities to be provided.
