Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction

Autor Joseph B. Wujek, Frank R. Dagostino
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2009
The book provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand introductory coverage of mechanical and electrical systems in buildings. Elementary engineering concepts and step-by-step design principles are introduced in a straightforward manner and supported by over 320 illustrations and 500 photographs. It includes new chapters on emerging sustainability (green) technologies and building science. It presents material that can provide the future architect, architectural engineer, and architectural engineering technician with a basic working-level knowledge of principles and practices.This book is written specifically for those interested in building heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing and piping (water supply and sanitary drainage), storm drainage, illumination, electrical power distribution, building telecommunications, acoustics and acoustical control, vertical/horizontal transportation and conveying, fire protection and suppression, and building renewable energy and energy conservation systems."

Hallmark Features
  • Emphasis on a straightforward, step-by-step, introduction of engineering concepts and design principles with many real-world examples.
    • Real-world examples and homework exercises help students understand engineering concepts and design principles.
  • Content on applicable codes, reference book design and design procedures, such as National Standard Plumbing Code, National Electrical Code, Fundamentals Handbook, ASHRAE, and Illumination Society of America.
    • Keeps students informed of current codes and standards.
  • Continuing design problems throughout the text, including an apartment building for the plumbing system, and a residence for the heating, air conditioning and electrical systems.
    • Presents students with challenging problems to work through.
  • Conveniently locates all charts and tables at the end of each chapter, encouraging students to review material by making references easily accessible.

Caracteristici noi

This edition is updated to include:
  • New chapter on emerging sustainability (green) technologies.
    • Introduces students to the emerging technologies, including cogeneration, geothermal, passive solar, photovoltaic (solar electric), wind energy, micro-hydropower, and rain water harvesting.
  • New chapter on building science.
    • Introduces the student to building science, including embodied energy, thermal storage, indoor air quality, and moisture in buildings.
  • New chapter on building conveying systems.
    • Added as a result of previous users of the text, it expands on already comprehensive coverage to include elevators and  escalators.
  • Nine chapters have been completely rewritten to reflect changes in the industry and the other chapters have been updated.
  • More than 150 new photographs and nearly 50 new figures have been added, showing building electrical and mechanical materials and equipment.
    • Illustrations and photographs help students identify materials and equipment and visualize/understand system operation.
