Download or read book Building Services Design Methodology written by David Bownass and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Services Design Methodology clearly sets out and defines the building services design process from concept to post-construction phase. By providing a step-by-step methodology for students and practitioners of service engineering, the book will encourage improved efficiency (both in environmental terms and in terms of profit enhancement) through better project management. Generic advice and guidance is set in the current legal and contractual context, ensuring that this will be required reading for professionals. The book's practical style is reinforced by a number of case studies.
Download or read book Building Services Design Management written by Jackie Portman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building services refers to the equipment and systems that contribute to controlling the internal environment to make it safe and comfortable to occupy. They also support the requirements of processes and business functions within buildings, for example manufacturing and assembly operations, medical procedures, warehousing and storage of materials, chemical processing, housing livestock, plant cultivation, etc. For both people and processes the ability of the building services engineering systems to continually perform properly, reliably, effectively and efficiently is of vital importance to the operational requirements of a building. Typically the building services installation is worth 30-60% of the total value of a contract, however existing publications on design management bundles building services engineering up with other disciplines and does not recognise its unique features and idiosyncrasies. Building Services Design Management provides authoritative guidance for building services engineers responsible for the design of services, overseeing the installation, and witnessing the testing and commissioning of these systems. The design stage requires technical skills to ensure that the systems are safe, compliant with legislative requirements and good practices, are cost-effective and are coordinated with the needs of the other design and construction team professionals. Covering everything from occupant subjectivity and end-user behaviour to design life maintainability, sequencing and design responsibility the book will meet the needs of building services engineering undergraduates and postgraduates as well as being an ideal handbook for building services engineers moving into design management.

Download or read book Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings written by Paul Tymkow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role and influence of building services engineers is undergoing rapid change and is pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However, textbooks in the field have largely focused on the detailed technicalities of HVAC systems, often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of energy efficiency imperatives, together with a strategic approach to the key design issues impacting upon carbon performance, in a concise manner. The key conceptual design issues for planning the principal systems that influence energy efficiency are examined in detail. In addition, the following issues are addressed in turn: Background issues for sustainability and the design process Developing a strategic approach to energy-efficient design How to undertake load assessments System comparison and selection Space planning for services Post-occupancy evaluation of completed building services In order to deliver sustainable buildings, a new perspective is needed amongst building and services engineering designers, from the outset of the conceptual design stage and throughout the whole design process. In this book, students and practitioners alike will find the ideal introduction to this new approach.

Download or read book BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERING for ARCHITECTS and BUILDING DESIGN PROFESSIONALS written by Alan Obrart and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO SHOULD USE THIS BOOKThis book is all about the engineering services commonly installed in new and refurbished commercial buildings. The information provided will be useful to both students and building professionals; architects, builders, consulting engineers, property and facilities managers and surveyors, in fact anyone associated with the building industry who needs a broad overview of the impact these services have on building design, without getting too involved in the engineering details.EARLY DESIGNThe aim is to assist non engineering specialists and commercial property and building industry professionals to participate in and understand early design processes and decisions for Air conditioning, heating, ventilating, electrical power, vertical transport, fire protection and water supply are covered, all of which can require significant space and affect other components of the total design. The very early stage is, without doubt, the most critical period of the entire building design process. This is a time when all members of the design team need to get a realistic feel for what the finished building will look like. A reasonably accurate, though approximate, prediction of the end result is an essential basis for early decision making on which future detailed design is based. INTEGRATED DESIGNIntegrated design collaboration harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimise design efficiency through all phases of a project allowing all design team members to realize their full potential and expand the value of the services they provide throughout the project lifecycle.
