Building Environmental Control Systems Illustrated (Paperback)

Building Environmental Control Systems Illustrated provides students with an easy-to-use and highly visual guide to building environmental control systems. By coupling diagrams, drawings, and pictures with concise text, the book offers readers a digestible and simplified way to learn about cutting-edge technologies, standards, and tools within the discipline. Opening chapters explore thermodynamics, comfort, and climate; heat transfer; sun and shading; and passive heating and passive cooling. In additional chapters, students learn about light and lighting; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC); electricity and electrical systems; water and plumbing systems; and sound and architectural acoustics. Closing chapters address vertical transportation and fire safety/fire protection. Throughout the text, theoretical considerations are accompanied by real-world examples that help students connect key concepts with practice. The text also features end-of-chapter review problems and an appendix that contains the solutions to all of the review problems. Presenting students with an accessible and dynamic approach to the subject matter, Building Environmental Control Systems Illustrated is an ideal resource for courses and programs in architecture.
