Good drainage contributes to the delivery of sustainable,
innovative and resilient buildings, and is essential for our health
and wellbeing. However, designers and architects can often leave
drainage to be implemented by specialists in isolation of other
design considerations, resulting in costly changes, rework and
repairs, operational discomfort and poor user experiences that
could have been avoided. Written for building designers and allied
professionals, homeowners and managers as well as the general
public, Building Drainage promotes an integrative and collaborative
approach. Key principles and components of drainage design are
presented in an accessible manner with many UK examples where the
underlying information and knowledge can be applied
internationally. Coverage includes waste and foul water drainage
systems and the benefits of integrated water management (IWM)
approach, where 'waste' becomes a valuable resource; surface and
rainwater drainage; water and energy efficiency through wastewater
recycling and reuse, and heat recovery. After reading this book you
will understand the mostly invisible, or unperceived, yet vital
aspects of functional drainage design and their interaction with
the architecture of the building as well as the local and global
environments.
