From what I've learned from this module, I'm able to identify relevant information related to water supply, liquid waste disposal, storm water management, security services and ventilation system. Not only that, I'm able to explain principles, systems, space implications and regulations related to water supply, storm water and waste water disposal, internal air quality and telecommunication services. I get to recognize and interpret drawings related to buildings services and to illustrate services construction in schematic diagrams. Last but not least, the most important part that I learned from this module is that how to distinguish and differentiate the installation of various types of services in a building.
