Building services refers to the equipment and systems thatcontribute to controlling the internal environment to make it safeand comfortable to occupy. They also support the requirements ofprocesses and business functions within buildings, for examplemanufacturing and assembly operations, medical procedures, warehousing and storage of materials, chemical processing, housinglivestock, plant cultivation, etc. For both people and processes the ability of the buildingservices engineering systems to continually perform properly, reliably, effectively and efficiently is of vital importance to theoperational requirements of a building. Typically the buildingservices installation is worth 30-60% of the total value of acontract, however existing publications on design managementbundles building services engineering up with other disciplines anddoes not recognise its unique features and idiosyncrasies. Building Services Design Management provides authoritativeguidance for building services engineers responsible for the designof services, overseeing the installation, and witnessing thetesting and commissioning of these systems. The design stagerequires technical skills to ensure that the systems are safe, compliant with legislative requirements and good practices, arecost-effective and are coordinated with the needs of the otherdesign and construction team professionals. Coveringeverything from occupant subjectivity and end-user behaviour todesign life maintainability, sequencing and design responsibilitythe book will meet the needs of building services engineeringundergraduates and postgraduates as well as being an ideal handbookfor building services engineers moving into designmanagement.
