1.4 Design Concept

MRCB academy of hospitality, tourism and culinary art
building concept is come from nature, Tower Garden
Concept. This sustainable concept idea has been
derived when there are the issue of sustainability and
mostly are occurred in the hospitality area.

The common factor of sustainable issue is there are

too many waste in so many angle and perspective in
this factor. The garden concept idea could bring many
advantages to the occupants and all the stakeholders.

This approach will reduce waste and energy

consumption with variety of activity that will be
provided and conducted in this building, such as farm
to table sustainable hospitality practice by manage its
own crops and garden.

Access requirments increase with the building height and size. By-law
140 stipulates the proportion of the building perimeter that must be
accesible to the fire fighting appliances. Location of the hydrant must
be considerd. Too close a placement adjacent to the building or
beneath an overhang may expose fire and rescue personnel to
unnecessary risks or worse, render them inoperable in an emergency.

3.0 BUILDING ENVELOPE
3.1 Introduction
3.2 Curtain Wall System
3.1 Introduction

The building glass and aluminium curtain wall is using

Unitized System. It is a cladding and exterior wall
system which is hung on the building structure from
floor to floor.

It is assembled from various components to include

steel or aluminium anchors, mullions (vertical tubes),
rails (horizontal mullions), vision glass, spandrel glass,
insulation and metal back pans.

In addition, there are various hardware components to

include anchors, aluminium connectors, setting blocks,
corner blocks, pressure plates, caps, gaskets and
Cladding system with Low E glass panel window
sealants.

In appreciating the views surround it, glass panel are

used for all faade facing the views. But, in order to
block UV rays and heat into the building, low-E glass
panel is selected.

Low-E glass window and steel plate are in modular

panels prefabricated in factory. The panels are hung
to the welded fin plate on the vertical frame.
 3.2 Curtain Wall System
UNITIZED/PANELIZED CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM
Unitized curtain walls entail factory fabrication and assembly
of panels and may include factory glazing. These completed
units are hung on the building structure to form the building
enclosure.
ADVANTAGES
Assembled in factory and providing enhanced quality
control
High performance systems (thermal, air, water, dynamics)
Adaptability to modern concepts
Speedy construction duration
Accomodation of multiple spandrel system(glass, metal
panels, stone)

DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL

BENEFITS
Captured or structured silicone glazed in any combination
Dual wall and motorized shade systems
Integrated sunshade systems (vertical & horizontal)
Window washing retention systems

Low E-glass Panel
Low emission glass is a high quality, clear, float glass with a
specially formulated, permanent, transparent coating. This
glass has been specially developed to provide increased
thermal insulation.

MRCB Academy Tower use low E- glass Panel curtain wall

because facing the sun path area.

Academy Tower was specifically designed and
customized.

4.2 Rostek Monorail Track System
LEVEL26
PERIMETER MONORAIL GONDOLA
SYSTEM
Cradles for cleaning and maintaining faades can
be moved vertically by means of electric cable
winches. The travelling and safety cables are
automatically wound up. The cables are fastened to
special travelling gears mounted on monorail
systems (faade rails) or on rail systems (on the
roof). The travelling gears can be operated
electrically or manually. The rail systems are made
of aluminium or steel, depending on the static and
structural requirements.
Facade Cradle
(Monorail system)
The cradle for cleaning the facades consists of a 2
m long motorized gondola with two integrated cable
winches including automatic cable winding and the
aluminium rail system. The cradle is moved
horizontally by means of a mechanical hand
windlass drive. To reach the lower regions of the
facade, the travelling gears are fitted to the outer
rail system. A load lift system for replacing faade
elements is also part of the access system.
Source :http://www.mhe-demag.com/
Suspended monorail gondola system

Monorail system is an access solution where a single track

runs along the exterior faade following the shape of the
building. Smooth running trolleys mounted on the monorail track
allow a suspended gondola cradle to move along the
building horizontally or with an incline. They can traverse by
either manual or electrical means along the monorail tracks.

For a climbing monorail, a high performance climbing trolley

(Roslift) runs along the inclined monorail to suspend and
traverse a gondola cradle. The Roslift is capable of climbing any
slope, whilst carrying a full load of 500 kg.
Example detail of suspended monorail gondola
system

top level of MRCB Academy Tower

Example of suspended gondola system

GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

During operation of using Gondola machine makes sure the following are in controls :

1. Workers who works in the cradle are always wearing with full body harness and
attached it to the cradle. Proper PPE to be wore.
2. Use of Gondola strictly by AUTHORIZED personnel only.
3. Before operation operators must be adequately trained and familiar with the system
4. Check all safety limit switches
5. Check all wire rope condition
6. Check emergency push button function
7. Make sure all overall working load are not more than 250 kgs
8. Do not handle the electrical power supply plug with wet hands
9. During operation proper barricade the spot under the working area with appropriate
sign board
10. Do not carry too many working tools. To prevent tools falling from high level
11. Never exit from the cradle when it is suspended
12. Never use the cradle for transportation of goods
13. During lifting and lowering of the cradle, be alert any objects that might coming out
from the window.
14. Do not use the Gondola system during bad weather and strong wind condition.

CONCLUSION

There area several factor that we must decide while designing a building in a tropical
climate. The materials and the construction system that we decide to apply is most
important factors besides than the design itself. Construction system base on site
condition, climate, type of core designed, location of the building, context, the
construction technology and many more, where the design process and construction
system must be integrated throughout the whole process
