DESCRIPTION:
Fundamentals of lighting, perceptions, design, and examples are presented in Part I. Hearst, 1941 Efficient buildings provide shelter and comfort by selectively using or resisting natural energy flows. Chapter 25 details plumbing installations in example residence and office occupancies, and Chapter 26 outlines plumbing work for fire and HVAC applications. Committed readers can develop a working knowledge of the design decisions, equipment options, and operations of different building sub-systems. The fuel and electrical energy required to operate a building during its useful life will usually cost more than the building's construction. Excerpt. Part II explains electrical energy that lights, heats, cools, and powers buildings. A secondary goal is to respect the reader's time, talent, and perception by presenting the materials in a concise, lucid format. Illustrations are included in the text to expand and reinforce the information presented, and act
For architects, constructors, managers, occupants, and owners who wish to refine and improve their understanding of efficiency in building operation.. Water and plumbing chapters introduces water demand for buildings, plumbing systems for buildings, methods of site waterscape, and plumbing fixtures and components. 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. Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning chapters show how to calculate heating/cooling costs for home/office, determine the size of air distribution components, and how to consider HVAC options and zoning for home/office. Electrical chapters explain the energy form that lights, heats, cools, and powers buildings. Using a concise and logical format that explains fundamentals in very simple terms—yet extensively—this book helps readers develop a working knowledge of the design decisions, equipment options, and operations of differe
Five Stars Kenda Blanks Great book! Great price!. "Design of Mechanical and Electrical Systems" according to M. Gabaldon. 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" according to Ryan. 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.
