ABSTRACT

In order to illustrate the practical application of the principles discussed in previous chapters we shall, in this chapter, describe a typical industrial design. The example chosen is taken from a scheme handled in the previous author’s office some years ago. It does embody the criteria in use today, although the design package would yield closer limits. It is appreciated that a building services engineer will now use software design packages. It is useful to see how the design values were arrived at. The buildings of a disused factory were taken over by a chemical manufacturing company which proposed to adapt them as a new works. Electric services were needed for lighting and power to machinery.
