DESCRIPTION:
Readers will learn to design, size, and detail the different sub-systems installations, select fixtures and components, and integrate all the building sub-systems with site, building, foundations, structure, materials, and finishes. Electrical chapters explain the energy form that lights, heats, cools, and powers buildings. For architects, constructors, managers, occupants, and owners who wish to refine and improve their understanding of efficiency in building operation.. Organized into four parts, topics include: Lighting chapters cover perceptions, lamps, luminaries, and design examples. Using a concise and logical format that explains fundamentals in very simple terms—yet extensively—this book helps readers develop a
Study problems follow each chapter so that readers can develop confidence in their abilities to apply knowledge and skills. The fuel and electrical energy required to operate a building during its useful life will usually cost more than the building's construction. Illustrations are included in the text to expand and reinforce the information presented, and actual building applications are emphasized for each topic covered. Chapter 19 presents a method for predicting annual building heating-cooling costs, and Chapters 20 and 21 outline opportunities for designing efficient buildings based on a working knowledge of heat flow.

Kenda Blanks said Five Stars. Great book! Great price!. Design of Mechanical and Electrical Systems Seems to be fairly consise. Nice illistrations, good explainations etc. Althought I am not an expert this books seems to bring out good points and design considerations.. Design of Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings I had to buy this for my environmental control systems class. My teacher helped write it. It's pretty easy to read for a textbook.
