Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this long-needed, single-source
reference, provides a wealth of knowledge, ranging from the basics of
building systems to explanations of why systems need to be integrated,
and how integration provides a basis for increased reliability and
economic growth. The book delves further, exploring environmentally
responsible design through the integration of natural site resources
with building systems and the impact of modern technology on buildings.
Integrated M/E Design examines a wide range of issues at the core of the
electronically operated, economically constrained, politically
controlled, and environmentally responsible, contemporary business
environment.
