Design of Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings

For courses in Lighting Design, Architectural Design, Interior Design, Electrical and Mechanical Systems Design, or Environmental Control Systems in departments of architecture and construction. Using a concise and logical format that explains fundamentals in very simple terms--yet extensively--this text helps students develop a working knowledge of the design decisions, equipment options, and operations of different building sub-systems. 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.
