Architectural model
At first, I didn’t notice that I do not have the plumbing system in my architecture model coordination, so I added some fixtures to my Architecture model at first. I designed a Mechanical Room for placing piping system.
For the walls, I used two 5” generic walls to create a middle space for letting the piping system pass through and I used Toilet Partition walls to isolate each toilet and urinal.

For the Plumbing Model, I used three different kinds of supply piping systems, they domestic hot/cold waters and sanitary systems. For all three different systems, I used copper for the pipe material to decrease the skin friction and drag force during the fluid flows.
It’s worth to mention that, the sanitary piping system are designed as sloped, that’s because for most of buildings the sanitary pipes are placed under the floor to make sure the flow can easily pass thru. For future design, a water reuse for grey water collecting system can be used for sustainable reasons. However, from my own perspective, it can cause extra cost for a short design life building like exhibition center.
The biggest challenge was to figure out the connections between different piping system, it was not easy to find a perfect way to connect all piping systems without any intersection and room conflicts. It’s necessary to adjust them over and over again, which is kind of fussing.
