Mechanical and electrical systems in architecture, engineering, and construction

---

Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction, fifth edition, is for those who must have a broad understanding of building mechanical and electrical materials, equipment, and systems to successfully envision,design, draw, construct, evaluate or operate a building or building project. It 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.

This book is intended to provide a broad-scope introduction to building mechanical and electrical materials, equipment, systems, design concepts, and engineering principles. 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. The audience of this text will likely be undergraduate college and university students in architecture, architectural technology, architectural engineering technology, construction engineering technology, construction management, and elementary architectural engineering.

The fifth edition of this book has been fully reformatted and updated from the previous edition. This transformation is intended to better accommodate its use in introductory college and university courses. Nine chapters have been rewritten to reflect changes in the industry and the other chapters have been updated. Chapters on occupant transportation/conveying systems and emerging sustainability technologies have been added to expand coverage. The new chapter, “Emerging Sustainable Technologies,” addresses emerging building mechanical and electrical technologies that are being incorporated into the whole system that makes up an advanced building.

Elementary engineering concepts and design principles are introduced in a straightforward manner. Over 150 new photographs and 40 new figures have been added to help improve the reader’s understanding of these subjects. Topics are presented on an intermediate mathematics level, requiring that the student have a working knowledge of college algebra. Homework exercises and design problems are written with the intent
of introducing basic principles with, in most instances, realworld connections.

A text like this is needed because those in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry must have an understanding of whole building design. Building mechanical and electrical technologies are integral elements that make up the whole building system—that is, they are really elemental systems within a single system, each of which must function and interact effectively with the other systems. Successful integration during design and construction depends on knowledge and teamwork of all involved—the architectural designer, the mechanical and electrical engineer, the technician, the draftsperson, the construction manager, the general contractor, the subcontractors, workers in the trades, and facilities managers and personnel. All involved should be familiar with basic design strategies, construction procedures, system characteristics, space requirements, and the time frame and progression at which such
work must be done on the job. Simply put, everyone involved in building design, construction, operation, maintenance, and deconstruction should be familiar with building mechanical and electrical systems.
