ArchitectureWeek Description
Architects were once charged with designing entire buildings — including the HVAC, lighting, and power systems — before complexity drove some of this work to engineers. This book provides architecture students with a conceptual understanding of how various systems interact and how to effectively communicate with consultants. This new edition covers designs that minimize dependence on nonrenewable fuels and optimize indoor air quality.
