Building design is increasingly geared towards low energy consumption. Understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer and the behaviour of air and water movements is more important than ever before. Heat and Mass Transfer in Building Services Design provides an essential underpinning knowledge for the technology subjects of space heating, water services, ventilation and air conditioning. This new text: *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; Energy Management and Operational Costs in Buildings Heat and Mass Transfer in Building Services Design combines theory with practical application for building services professional and students. It will also be beneficial to technicians and undergraduate students on courses in construction and mechanical engineering.
How can the principles of heat and mass transfer be effectively applied to optimize energy efficiency in modern building services design? Keith Moss, an experienced practitioner in building services engineering, synthesizes fundamental thermodynamic concepts with practical design requirements. The text provides a technical framework for understanding fluid flow and thermal dynamics, specifically tailored for professionals and students navigating the complexities of modern construction and HVAC systems.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this text as a foundational resource for students and technicians in the building services field. Readers frequently note the clarity with which the author bridges the gap between theoretical thermodynamics and real-world engineering challenges.
