Building Services Engineering

---

Building Services Engineering fifth edition is an update and expansion to include web site learning
resources. Mechanical transportation has been included again. Two new chapters of multiple
choice questions, ‘Question Bank’ and ‘Understanding Units’, are added to provide a wide
range of challenging learning resources covering the whole book. Each chapter has additional
multiple choice questions for self-assessment. Readers have access to self-test questions on the
publishers’ website. Questions may require the reader to look up answers in additional resources
or use the internet with a search engine. There is only one correct answer to each multiple choice
question unless specified as having more. Incorrect answers may be partially true but not considered
by the author to be the entirely correct response for the purpose of this book; these may
stimulate additional study, discussion, questioning with peers or the instructor.

Instructors can download the Building Services Engineering Instructors Manual of over 1500
multiple choice questions covering every chapter. All the multiple choice questions in this book
are also in the Manual so that instructors can cut and paste test material rapidly. Questions are in
chapters corresponding to the book chapter subjects to facilitate easy selection of questions for
class quizzes, online tests, assignments and examinations. The author is well aware of the constant
requirement for instructors to generate teaching resources, assignments and tests, having done
so for many years.

The spreadsheet software file for Chapter 14, ‘Room Acoustics’, can be downloaded from the
website http://www.tandfbuiltenvironment.com/0419257403.asp. Users usually have to adjust
the screen display to optimize the viewed pages. It is expected that the reader can use the spreadsheet
software that is available on their own computer, or is provided on a network system for
their use. If this is not the case, introductory training in spreadsheet software use is needed. The
reader can make use of Chapter 1, ‘Computer and Spreadsheet Use’, in Building Services Engineering
Spreadsheets (Chadderton, 1997b) where sufficient introductory training in computer
and spreadsheet use is provided.

Building Services Engineering fifth edition is intended to be a broad introduction to the range
of subjects involved. The engineering content and calculation methods are sufficiently rigorous to
match most of what is done within the industry during the design of many building services applications.
The subjects covered and the depth to which they are analysed and calculated are more
than sufficient to meet the syllabus requirements of higher technician, undergraduate and some
postgraduate courses in building services engineering, heating, ventilating and air conditioning,
energy management, architecture, building and quantity surveying, housing management, estate
management and property facility management. Those preparing for clerk of works examinations
will also find the book useful. The advanced user will need to progress to specialized text books
and the standard references.

The reader is challenged to become actively engaged in the design calculations carried out
by design engineers, through step-by-step introduction of each stage. A standard of numerical
competence is expected that some lecturers may consider being higher than is necessary for some
courses. This was deemed appropriate in order to broaden the potential readership and provide
an adequate basis for a deeper design study.
