Synopsis

Designed to bridge the ever-widening gap between textbooks and the realities that confront engineering, and construction professionals, this text provides an overview of the principles and applications of all basic mechanical and electrical systems ― with a focus on what, why, and basic design data examples. It explores emerging technology and environmental issues, and makes reference to essential engineering calculations and condensed data to illustrate principles.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This book is intended both as a textbook and as a reference book for students and professionals interested in building mechanical and electrical systems.  With a complete and practical introduction to the design of mechanical and electrical systems in buildings, the text successfully bridges the gap between architecture, civil engineering technology, and construction management.

 

This edition has two new chapters:

 

Chapter 1 covers topics that are relevant for all the mechanical and electrical systems covered in subsequent chapters.  This chapter describes the:

•  basics of energy required to understand mechanical and electrical systems
• how mechanical and electrical systems affect the design of buildings
• sustainable design principles
• basic commissioning
• economics of building operations
• tools for evaluating options by economics and quality 

Chapter 19 is entitled “Architectural Accommodation and Coordination of Mechanical and Electrical Systems.”  This chapter is written for readers who are involved in planning, design and construction to help them gain an early understanding of: 

• what spaces are required for mechanical and electrical systems
• how to allocate area
• where best to locate systems and equipment
• what construction details are important to make systems work as intended 

The chapter covers topics that can be problematic if they are not addressed and resolved early in the design.

 

 

 

Quatrième de couverture

This new edition of a classic in the field updates and refines the original work, a complete and practical introduction to the design of mechanical and electrical systems in buildings.

The authors are widely recognized as leading authorities in the field and have extensive professional and academic experience. Herein is an outstanding combination of the basic concepts underlying design plus a practical approach to handling a wide variety of realistic design situations.

Features new to this second edition include:

• A chapter on noise and vibration in mechanical and electrical systems. This will assist the reader in dealing with this problem through design.
• A large number of new problems and applications.
• Incorporation of the latest communication technology as applied to building systems.
• The chapter on lighting design has been enhanced with added architectural considerations.
• Chapters on communications, electrical design, and lighting design have been reorganized to provide smoother flow through the material.
• Many new illustrations to support the presentation.
