CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

excellent!!! -
This book was in brand-new ,excellent condition and much cheaper than my school book store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings, 10th Edition -
An approachable, comprehensive, and learning resource for understanding sustainable as well as reasonable methods and techniques for employing building systems.

Bible for Architects -
This book is the most comprehensive reference that addresses some of the most important concepts that are fundamental to architectural design. All the issues are dealt with in considerable detail. An awesome design reference, this book never leaves my desk. Combining the experience and lessons from ancient architecture to the most modern technologies, this book teaches good, effective and environment friendly design with solid reasoning and examples. There is often a quantitative base to the theory as well, which makes the measurement of benefits clear and defined.

A well balanced Book on Building Systems -
This is a huge compilation of relevant information about building equipments currently used in North America. One may call it a Handbook rather than a Text Book. Design calculations are given for simple scenarios. HVAC and Lighting sections are very well written. Inclusions of more examples of Modern methods in HVAC (UFAD, Radiant cooling/heating, DDC) will be appropriate for future editions. A new chapter on LEDs (light emitting diodes) and expansion of the chapter on Photo-Voltaic Systems could have enhanced the value of this edition.

Overall, this is the best compilation of materials for building equipments that I have come across. I recommend it to be a reference for all Practicing Engineers.

Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings -
As a resource librarian in a mid-size design (architecture) firm, building and maintaining a reference library is one of my responsibilities. I normally wait until I get a request for a book before I review it for inclusion since there is so little space for "real" books. This book was requested so that a designer could study for her registration exam. She gave it a glowing review and said it had been mentioned on the exam blogs as one of the must-reads. It also seemed to have, in one place, all the information a practicing architect would need to design with or around mechanical systems, as well as provide the framework and vocabulary to talk to consultants.
