Moss Keith J. Heating and Water Services Design in Buildings

Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2002, E & FN Spon, 1996. X, 251 p. — ISBN: 0-203-47558-5 (Master e-book), ISBN: 0-203-78382-4 (Adobe eReader Format), ISBN: 0-419-20110-6 (Print Edition).Heating and Water Services Design in Buildings provides a thorough and practical coverage of design procedures. Numerous examples and case studies reinforce the information covering each specific area. Mathematics and fluids are introduced as core skills where they are required as part of the design solution.
Heating and Water Service Design in Buildings has been written following thirteen years in the industry and twenty seven years teaching and consultancy work. The author has worked with college students, university undergraduates and open learning candidates of all ages.Heat requirements of heated buildings in temperate climatesNomenclatureHeat energy flows
