Contents:
Built environment -- Energy economics -- Heat loss calculations -- Heating -- Ventilation and air conditioning -- Hot- and cold-water supplies -- Soil and waste systems -- Surface-water drainage -- Below-ground drainage -- Condensation in buildings -- Lighting -- Gas -- Electrical installations -- Room acoustics -- Fire protection -- Plant and service areas -- Mechanical transportation -- Question bank -- Understanding units.
Summary: Updated and expanded, this core textbook introduces the range of building services found within modern buildings. In this fifth edition coverage has been broadened as a response to the trend towards low energy mechanical services systems for the heating and cooling of buildings. New chapters have been included on mechanical transportation, and on understanding units. Now accompanied by a new instructor's resource, the book's style retains its focus on the fundamentals and setting out of applications in a general and easily understood manner. It is extensively illustrated with fully worked examples of all numerical problems and student-centred problems, complemented by full answers. Suitable for distance learning and with a broad international applicability, Building Services Engineering provides for the higher education of building industry professionals, whether on Higher Certificate, Higher Diploma, undergraduate courses or graduate level conversion courses, across the building technology, architectural, surveying and services engineering disciplines.
