It is important that construction professionals have a good understanding of the basics and applications of building services engineering. Building services engineering fourth edition is an update and expansion to include web site learning resources.

The engineering content and calculation methods are sufficiently rigorous to match most of what is done within the industry during the design of many building services applications, and there is a chapter to cover every aspect of the profession with worked examples. Several of the worked examples in Chapters 1-9, 12, 13 and 16 have been recalculated with new numbers. Chapter two covers the explanation of carbon, greenhouse gases and emissions and they are calculated for energy sources and energy saving retrofit projects.

The book's new numerical examples will benefit those who wish to teach from the book, while those learning from the text will find a refreshed set of worked examples.
