DESCRIPTION:
It explores emerging technology and environmental issues, and makes reference to essential engineering calculations and condensed data to illustrate principles. From the Publisher Designed to bridge the ever-widening gap between textbooks and the realities that confront engineering, and construction professionals, this text provides an overview of the principles and applications of all basic mechanical and electrical systems -- with a focus on what, why, and basic design data examples.
The book places emphasis on the operating principles of equipment and systems–rather than on construction details, identifying systems and providing readers with an explanation of principles. Topics incorporate new developments in all the major disciplines, and reinforces the relationship of mechanical and electrical systems design in the overall context of the built environment. Includes some key topics such as Sustainable Design, Noise and Vibrations in M/E systems, the latest communications and illumination engineering technologies, Building heating, air conditioning, electrical, illumination, plumbing, and fire protection systems, Valuable data for space planning, cost, and environmental impact of building M/E systems. For design professionals involved in the development, construction, and management of commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings..

It's 4am over here in Singapore and I've just finished reading one of the topics, just imagine how attractive the contents this book has! However, the only and regretable drawback is: the units are empirical which make it very difficult for me for in my country, we use SI metric units.. am over here in Singapore and I've just finished reading one of the topics, just imagine how attractive the contents this book has!

Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings, 2nd A Customer Very good book. Helps you understand the systems inside (and outside) of buildings in use everyday that most folks don't have a clue about. If you are interested in understanding how your building equipment functions this is a good book for you. Down to earth and well written. Recommend to property management personnel.. Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings (3rd Edition) Nhan Nguyen This book is terrible. If you are a certified HVAC specialist, it is for you. However, if you are new to this then it is a total waste of money. Explanation is bad, example are nowhere relate to the section discussed. And worst of all, there is no answer keys. You will not have a clue if you are correct or not. Every chapter there are as least half of the review question are calculations, yet in each chapter there will be probably one page showing how calculation is done. Example one of the simplest thing:COP = Cooling Effect / Power Input. If you
