However, textbooks in the field have tended to remain fairly traditional with a detailed focus on the technicalities of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of the urgent challenge to address climate change, together with practical approaches to energy efficiency and carbon mitigation for mechanical and electrical systems, in a concise manner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essential conceptual design issues for planning the principal building services systems that influence energy efficiency are examined in detail. These are HVAC and electrical systems. In addition, the following issues are addressed: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ebackground issues on climate change, whole-life performance and design collaboration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egeneric strategies for energy efficient, low-carbon design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehealth and wellbeing and post occupancy evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebuilding ventilation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eair conditioning and HVAC system selection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethermal energy generation and distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elow-energy approaches for thermal control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eelectrical systems, data collection, controls and monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebuilding thermal load assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebuilding electric power load assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003espace planning and design integration with other disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn order to deliver buildings that help mitigate climate change impacts, a new perspective is required for building services engineers, from the initial conceptual design and throughout the design collaboration with other disciplines.
