Building design is increasingly geared towards low energy consumption. Understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer and the behaviour of air and water movement is more important than ever before. Heat and Mass Transfer in Building Services Design provides this essential underpinning knowledge for the technology subjects of space heating, water services, ventilation and air conditioning. This new book provides core understanding of heat transfer and fluid flow from a building services perspective; complements a range of courses in building services engineering; underpins and extends the themes of the author's previous books: Heating and Water Services Design in Buildings and Energy Management and Operating Costs in Buildings. Heat and Mass Transfer in Building Services Design combines theory with practical application for building services professionals and students. It will also be beneficial to technician and undergraduate students on courses in construction and mechanical engineering.
