Example Service Module: Conclusion
744
CONCLUSION
This example does not pretend to give a comprehensive picture of the
total service module distribution problem. It has attempted to show a
general approach to a solution. The successful integration of the
subsystem layouts in a rational network depends on early study of the
immediate and potential requirements for service. The general character
of the service layouts needs to be developed simultaneously with
structural and functional decisions. If this design procedure is followed, it
will result in:
1. simplified layout drawings with a high content of diagrammatic detail
for contract documents;
2. precise location of restrictions on service drops during functional zone
planning;
3. simpler coordination and installation during construction stages;
4. simpler service change procedures during the life of the building.
