Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings | Construction & Property

Product Description

The role and influence of building services engineers are undergoing rapid change and are pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However textbooks in the field have tended to remain fairly traditional with a detailed focus on the technicalities of heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of the urgent challenge to address climate change together with practical approaches to energy efficiency and carbon mitigation for mechanical and electrical systems in a concise manner. The essential conceptual design issues for planning the principal building services systems that in…
