Planning services cores of multi-storey office buildings

Abstract

This Research Report investigates various aspects of planning the services cores of multi-storey office buildings. There have been many publications on office buildings but there is little comprehensive study on the planning of its services cores. This Research Report attempts to provide a useful discourse as an additional reference on this subject to interested readers. Since little information has been written on this subject, most of the research had to be undertaken by studying the related subjects which include building services planning and office building planning. A number of experts in these related areas were also consultad.
