This course provides a practical and structured introduction to the design of electrical power distribution systems in high-rise buildings. Starting with the overview and intent of building electrical design, learners will understand how engineering decisions are aligned with safety, reliability, and operational requirements. The course then focuses on load estimation techniques and the development of a Master Single Line Diagram (SLD)—a critical step in visualizing and planning the entire electrical network.
