Settlement facilities are linked and supported by systems that provide functions. Systems can be both physical and operational. This page concentrates on physical systems.
Contents
Life support systems
Life support system functions are to support human life in the settlement. Another important function is to provide support to living organisms such as food production and habitat vegetation.
Plumbing and Water circulation
Heating and cooling
Air circulation
Electrical energy distribution systems
Electrical energy distribution systems include wiring, protection elements, insulation and grounding. These systems connect energy sources to energy storage and energy using equipment.
Communication systems
Communication systems are used for information networks, process control networks and building control networks. These systems link data sources to data storage and data users. These systems can use electrical wiring, radio links or optical links for transmit communications.
Transportation systems
Internal
External
Structural systems
Foundations
Walls and airlocks
Interior structures
