Planning Module Applications: Design Configurations
2. The Service Strip
An interior service bay often becomes necessary in a configuration
where the size or the organization of service modules is such that
some portion cannot be served from an exterior service bay.
When the strategy of an independent air-handling unit for each service
module is extended to an interior service bay location, an alternative
fresh air supply must be found. More importantly, the problems of
installation and replacement of mechanical equipment are significantly
greater.
A service strip is defined as any series of adjacent service bays, some
of which are interior. The service strip occurs often in compound
configurations, and must be accommodated by a special strategy.
