Review: This textbook examines the technology and services that relate to human comfort in the built environment and the performance of the buildings. As such it looks at heating, air control, ventilation, lighting, noise control, water supplies as well as the broader topics of climate, sustainability, energy use and conservation. There are chapters on the core topics (thermal effects; energy use; lighting; sound; electricity, water and waste supply; and green buildings); and resources (principles of heat, light, sound, electricity and water technology).
