Non-Health Buildings

Electrical Systems- Applicable Codes and

Standards

The Client has requested that codes and standards for KKMC be those which would be
applicable if this project were to be constructed in the United States.

Compliance with local authorities codes and standards is also of great importance and Saudi
Building Codes are listed accordingly.

Non Healthcare Buildings Small Power System

General

All general purpose convenience outlets, duplex or single will be rated 13 Amp, 3 pin 230 volts switched
type.

Final circuit wiring for socket outlets will be ring connected.

Each ring having a cross-sectional area of 4mm 2 and protected by 30mA sensitivity residual current
circuit breakers.

Tower Housing Apartments and Villas

General purpose power outlets will be distributed throughout the Apartments and Villas using 13A
switched socket outlets.

The power outlets for Apartments and Villas will finally be based on the furniture layout and Interior
Design drawings.

The power outlet provision for each apartment and villa type will be detailed in the forthcoming
presentations.

Non Healthcare Buildings Standby Power Philosophy

Emergency (standby) generation for Non Health Buildings.

Office, Research and Conference Centre

in addition to the life safety/code

Parking Structure requirements, provide emergency
Mosque standby cover to serve a proportion of
the load to provide some functionality
Gate House following mains supply failure.
Family Housing
Community Centre
Male Housing provide emergency standby cover to
serve the life safety/code requirements
Female Housing only.

Non Healthcare Buildings Standby Diesel Generator
System

Generators located in a dedicated room.

Quantity and rating of generators will be

based on essential electrical systems load
plus 20 percent future load growth.

Systems to be fed from generators include:

Car park / service area ventilation fans Smoke ventilation systems

Stair pressurization fans A/C in Substations, Electrical, Telecom, and

ELV rooms.

Lifts Fire protection plant and pumps

Sump pumps Emergency lighting cubicles

Fire alarm panels Control centre equipment

Security systems Voice and data communication transmission

system

Building management system.

Page 32
Non Healthcare Buildings Uninterruptible Power Supplies

UPS for the Non Healthcare Buildings will be designed to provide power to the critical
telecommunications equipment such as the following.

tTlecommunications servers and other active equipment

Security and CCTV systems

The UPS power will be distributed to the Floor TR (Telecommunication rooms) from the central UPS
room located on Ground Floor/Basement of the individual building and located on each floor level to
provide IT wiring to all spaces.

TRs will contain server racks which

will be served with the UPS back-up power.

Consists of :

Functional interior lighting systems for all areas.

Display and effect lighting for internal and external spaces.

FF&E lighting for space accenting and scene setting

Facade lighting for building accenting.

Landscape Lighting

Street Lighting

Non Healthcare Buildings Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting system shall be designed to NFPA 101

Provides a safe passage in all areas in the event of a mains failure.

Emergency lighting shall fulfil the following functions:

Illuminate the escape routes.

Indicate the escape route direction clearly

Provide EXIT signs on escape doors and routes to such doors.

Illuminate
fire alarm call points,
fire fighting equipment
other life saving equipment on the premises.

Page 35
Non Healthcare Buildings Lighting Controls

Lighting circuits will be controlled by combination of automatic and manual

lighting control systems to facilitate energy efficient control

Individual switches for the rooms in the Apartments.

Back of the House lighting circuits (BOH) (corridors, lift lobbies etc) on each
level shall be controlled based on timer programs or occupancy sensors.

Car park lighting circuits on each level shall be controlled based on timer
programs. Daylight control to luminaires at edge of parking floors.

External Lighting circuits shall be photo-cell On/Off. Manual override shall be

possible from the PC at the security base.

Finishes:

It is advisable that areas such as lobbies, internal loading areas, car parks etc have
ceiling and wall areas treated to ensure that the affectivity of the lighting applied is fully
utilised.

MSCP car parks have the non road surface areas painted in white or near white to
ensure that the areas present very low light absorption properties.
