Abstract
This thesis was motivated by the sensing of inadequcies in
all ramifications of building services installations in small
hotels around the country.
The traditional role of a hotel in the service of a community
seems to be crumbling like a pack of cards under the
weight of afflictions brought about by ignorance and incapacity
of hotel developers and managers.
In the liqht of the foregoing this work was designed to reestablish
the concept on which the hotel industry is built,
which is the provision of comfort in all it's relevant
ramifications to all categories of hotel users, to measure
the status of building services installations in elected
small hotels in Kaduna by means of a survey, and bo present
a design guide for a small hotel.
The hotel on which the excercise is based is a 45-bedroom
hypothetical hotel, in Kaduna.
The building services haven been identified as a very relevant
instrument towards the provision of comfort in hotels
has not been well considered in many hotel developments as
the result of the survey indicated.
The first chapter presents the background to this work the
need for it and the scope, while the second chapter deals
with historical aspects of hotel development and hotel classification.
The third chapter concerns itself with the survey which has
been touched upon above. The methodology of the survey and
the analysis of data gathered from this survey along with
relevant recommendations are presented here.
Chapter four highlights some useful concepts towards the
design of engineering services in buildings.
Subsequent chapters set out the fundamental principles
and regulations of statutory bodies along which Lnes
the various components of the building services system
could be successfully designed. These component; include:
(a) Cold and Hot water services
(b) Electrical Installations and allied serrvices.
