What i want in each room in my house will be different to what someone else wants, so no matter what you write, you wont be wrong.

couldn't agree more

I couldn't disagree more.

As a BTEC project you included the conversation with the owner on what will be fitted. This will form the spec.

The more that is in the project the more the tutor will be able to mark up. For instance if there is 5 marks for an alarm system and none was installed then zero marks.

This assignment is looking for imagination, design and technical knowledge.

fire protection - ineterlinked mains powered alarms along the house (kitchen, living room, landings)
data - 2x rj45 sockets in each room, cat5 cabling ending up in a cabinet somewhere in the house, landline points if needed.

it's a bit vague. tell u8s your thoughts and we can then advise . imagine it;s your house. what would you want in each room?

10X 2 gang outlets please...

Typical BTEC assignment don't sweat it, they probably don't know the answer themselves or more worrying they have answers that are ******** in the real world.

They may or may not be after low energy lighting to comply with Building regs L1 (A) if new build (B) if existing.

Fire - send plan to Aico they'll provide the solution !

 

[GLENNSPARK]

you're close. as for alarm system, i.d do a contact on each external door, a PIR in each downstairs room, PIR in hall and a PIR on landing. ( as a general idea ). for fire, a smoke detector downstairs and 1 upstairs, mains powered and interlinked. a heat detector in the kitchen is optional.

and this one needs to be on its own zone....so you dont set it off when you get up for a ---- in the middle of the night.....

OK thanks all i think ive done this now,, im now asked for

relevant standards and design conditions???

ANyone know please??

LIke said its a standard small domestic property

 

[Stroppy]

Haven't we had this ridiculously vague question before, with its baffling term "small power"?

Relevant standards? The first obvious one will the the book known as The Regulations, which is BS???? (you find it ), then you'll need a load of the relevant Health and Safety ones, your starter for 10 being the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The government HSE website would be a good place to start.

 

[PeterPan27]

standard as in BS 76 71
H&s at work 1974
Electricity at work regs 1989
electricity satety quality and continuity regs 2002
PPE at work regs 1992
And i suppose RIDDOR and COSHH????

would these be the relevant standards???

Also what about this design conditions??

thanks btw mate and i presume small power is sockets
