Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings provides an interactive, multidisciplinary approach to the building process. It illustrates the modern realities of planning and constructing buildings with efficient, sustainable mechanical and electrical systems. Five major disciplines are covered: HVAC, plumbing and fire protection, electrical power and telecommunications, illumination, and noise and vibration control.

The 7th Edition responds to continual advancements in the field. As with each new edition, applications of mechanical and electrical technology in buildings were updated to reflect new industry standards. Chapters covering HVAC systems and equipment were also updated to include new technologies and their applications.
