DESCRIPTION
Ideal for students on general construction and building services courses. - Each topic presented concisely using plain language and clear drawings. - Incorporates recent revisions to the Building Regulations and Water Supply Regulations. - Includes traditional and contemporary practice. - Website resources available. Building Services Handbook summarises the application of all common elements of building services practice, technique and procedure, to provide an essential information resource for students and engineers working in the industry. Information is presented in the highly illustrated and accessible style of the best-selling companion title Building Construction Handbook.
The new edition contains extended information on water system components, control systems for hot water and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, drainage, gas appliance flues and further examples of design calculations. It has been revised and expanded to take into account recent amendments to the Building Regulations Approved Documents and guidance from British and European Standards. Online lecture facilities include PowerPoint slides illustrating a selection of services areas, providing key diagrams for use with presentations and handouts.
The comprehensive reference for all construction and building services students, Building Services Handbook is ideal for a wide range of courses including NVQ and BTEC National through Higher National Certificate and Diploma to Foundation and three-year Degree level. The illustrative coverage and complementary references to industry Standards combines essentials guidance with a resource base for further reading and development of specific topics.
