Guidelines<br />
9.3.1 Electrical Distribution Systems<br />
BS36<br />
All electrical systems SHALL meet the minimum energy performance requirements.<br />
BS37<br />
All designs SHALL consider the local environmental conditions, including ambient<br />
temperature, humidity, air quality and soil resistivity (both electrical and thermal),<br />
when sizing cables and equipment.<br />
BS38<br />
The electrical load requirements for mosques SHALL be assessed in accordance<br />
with ADDC/AADC requirements.<br />
BS39<br />
Substation quantities and location SHALL be confirmed with ADDC/AADC as part of<br />
the approvals process.<br />
BS40<br />
The design of the mosque SHALL incorporate electrical utility room(s), where the<br />
minimum size is as per ADDC/AADC requirements.<br />
BS41<br />
Electrical distribution boards SHALL be located to optimally meet the electrical<br />
power requirements of the mosque.<br />
BG19<br />
The electrical distribution boards SHOULD be located within electrical closets<br />
and mechanical plant rooms that have restricted access.<br />
BS42<br />
Electrical sub-meters SHALL be provided for all major high power equipment items<br />
in order to monitor and record energy consumption.<br />
BS43<br />
Commissioning of electrical systems SHALL be carried out prior to building<br />
completion.<br />
9.3.2 Cable Management Systems<br />
BS44<br />
Power and data cables SHALL be adequately protected using cable containment<br />
systems, and SHALL NOT be fixed/clipped to the mosque building.<br />
BG20<br />
Cable trays, baskets or ladders SHOULD be utilised for the distribution of large<br />
sub-mains cables from the main switchboard to distribution boards.<br />
BG21<br />
Cable trunking and conduits SHOULD be utilised for small power sub-circuits,<br />
supplying lighting and socket outlets.<br />
BS45<br />
Cable support systems, including recessed and surfaced mounted conduits, SHALL<br />
be made from rigid steel.<br />
BG22<br />
BS23<br />
All cable trays, baskets, ladders and trunking systems SHOULD be routed<br />
through areas that are easily accessible for maintenance purposes.<br />
Conduits, trunking and cable trays for the electrical network SHOULD be<br />
designed and sized to allow for future capacity increases, system upgrades or<br />
alternative technologies.<br />
