ABSTRACT
The Building Services Handbook summarises concisely, in diagrams and brief explanations, all elements of building services. Practice, techniques and procedures are clearly defined with supplementary references to regulations and relevant standards. This is an essential text for all construction/building services students up to undergraduate level, and is also a valuable reference text for building service professionals.
This new book is based on Fred Hall's 'Essential Building Services and Equipment 2ed' and has been thoroughly updated throughout. It is a companion volume to the highly popular textbook 'Building Construction Handbook' by Chudley and Greeno, which is now in its fourth edition.
