The definitive guide to the design of environmental control systems. For more than half a century, this book has been a fixture in architecture and construction firms the world over. It has also been the primary means by which generations of students have acquired the basic knowledge and skills needed to design environmental control systems. Twice awarded the AIA's Citation for Excellence in International Architecture Book Publishing, Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings is recognized for its comprehensiveness, clarity of presentation, and timely coverage of new design trends and technologies. Faithful to its proud heritage, this Ninth Edition provides students and professionals with the most complete coverage of the theory and practice of environmental control system design currently available. Encompassing mechanical and electrical systems for buildings of all sizes, it provides design guidelines and detailed design procedures for each topic covered. It also includes information on the latest technologies, new and emerging design trends, and relevant codes and zoning restrictions-and its more than 1,500 superb illustrations, tables, and high-quality photographs provide a quick reference for both students and busy professionals. Emphasizing sustainability in architecture throughout, this new edition includes expanded coverage of energy conservation and renewable on-site energy resources. It also features a new chapter on interior air quality, expanded coverage of building acoustics, and many new and updated tables and illustrations.

COURTYARDS Aesthetic, Social, and Thermal Delight Courtyards is an artful, informative exploration of courtyards, from their origins in early civilization to contemporary design concepts. Architects and landscape architects will repeatedly turn to the detailed guidelines for reference, gain a greater sense of balance between building and garden, and cultivate optimal green space by using the practical planting tips. Over one hundred photographs and drawings illustrate the concepts written about by an authority and passionate scholar in his field.

Continuing its proud heritage, this Tenth Edition provides thorough coverage of the latest in the theory and practice of environmental control system design. This bestselling book encompasses mechanical and electrical systems for buildings of all sizes, featuring design guidelines and detailed design procedures for every topic covered and supported by more than 2,200 illustrations—over 225 new to this edition!

Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings, 10th Edition

Presents basic theory and design guidelines while covering systems and equipment. Emphasizes conservation of resources and the use of renewable energy sources as well as rapid decision making and integration with other aspects of design. Much more comprehensive than previous editions: includes site design, water, waste, electricity, elevators, etc. It is the recommended reference for the national architectural licensing examinations (NCARB).

Using a problem-solving approach, it presents a broad view of building in the environment by investigating problems at various scales--from the context of culture and climate to the site, the building cluster, the building, the construction zone, individual components--and layering the design process from analysis to conceptual, schematic, developmental, systems integration and evaluation. Concentrates on providing a set of procedures which connect subjects covered in Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings and includes a multitude of line drawings to illustrate these processes.

lnsideout is organized into four areas of concern: thermal, lighting, warer/waste, and acoustics. Each section has one or more exercises. The thermal section has four exercises; sun penetration and shadows, heat loss, heat gain, and equipment and distribution. Lighting has two exercises, daylighting and electrical lighting. Daylighting precedes electric lighting in order to reinforce rhe notion that passive energies should be exploited before highly processed artificial energies, and that the potential of energy sources to perform work should be marched to rhe task. Because the daylighting exercise follows the thermal section students must resolve such conflicts as glare versus solar gain, and heat loss versus the more even illumination of north light. Electric lighting in most cases plays a backup role and tends ro be task specific.The water and waste exercise asks for the design and comparison of three sys- tems: conventional fixtures with centralized waste treatment; low water use fix- tures, solar water hearing, septic rank and field, and centralized water supply; and, composing toilets, rain collection and storage, grey water filtration and irrigation, and solar water heating. The systems are compared in terms of energy and water use. The acoustic exercise frequently requires the reexamination of decisions made in previous exercises and requires tradeoffs ro resolve conflicts such as the desire for hard surface mass in a direct gain solar system versus the need for sound absorption to reduce reverberation time.Pedagogically, we feel it is important that exercises be presented in consistent context of a particular building and site. Traditionally, the teaching of en- gineering calculations has been presented in a series of unrelated contexcs, to illustrate particular applicability of given procedures. Insideout provides exercises which require design of a building and it's site, an evaluation of that design, and a redesign on the basis of that evaluation.
