This book is a core text for students of building services. The coverage is comprehensive and engages the reader in the design of calculations carried out by the building services engineer. It explains the working principles of the major services, supported by line diagrams and copious calculations and self-assessment exercises. Each chapter is introduced with a statement of the learning objectives and key terms employed and ends with a glossary of technical terms used.
