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 influence energy efficiency are examined in detail. These are
HVAC and electrical systems. In addition, the following issues are
addressed: background issues on climate change, whole-life
performance and design collaboration generic strategies for energy
efficient, low-carbon design health and wellbeing and post
occupancy evaluation building ventilation air conditioning and HVAC
system selection thermal energy generation and distribution systems
low-energy approaches for thermal control electrical systems, data
collection, controls and monitoring building thermal load
assessment building electric power load assessment space planning
and design integration with other disciplines. In order to deliver
buildings that help mitigate climate change impacts, a new
perspective is required for building services engineers, from the
initial conceptual design and throughout the design collaboration
with other disciplines. This book provides a contemporary
introduction and guide to this new approach, for students and
practitioners alike.
