The first desk reference on technical building systems for interior
designers
Building Systems for Interior Designers is the first book
to explain technical building systems and engineering issues in a
clear and accessible way to interior designers. The technical
knowledge and vocabulary presented here allow interior designers to
communicate more effectively with architects, engineers, and
contractors while collaborating on projects, leading to more
accurate solutions for problems related to a broad range of other
building considerations with an impact on interior design.
Information on sustainable design is integrated throughout the
book, making it a relevant tool for current and emerging trends in
building design.
Written in a straightforward, nontechnical style that maintains
depth and accuracy, this book is the first complete text applicable
to interior design courses and provides thorough preparation for
the NCIDQ exam. Engaging, clear illustrations support the text,
which is accessible to those without a math or physics
background.
Topics covered include:
* Heating and air conditioning systems
* Environmental issues
* Water and waste
* Thermal comfort
* HVAC systems
* Electricity
* Lighting
* Security and communications systems
* Fire safety
* Transportation systems
With numerous case examples illustrating how interior designers
apply this material in the real world, Building Systems for
Interior Designers is a valuable book for students, as well as
a practical desktop reference for professionals.
Content from this book is available as an online continuing
professional education course at href=’http://www.wiley.com/Wiley CDA/Section/id-320255.html#fire_safety’>http://www.wiley.com/Wiley CDA/Section/id-320255.html#fire_safety.
Wiley CPE courses are available on demand, 24 hours a day, and are
approved by the American Institute of Architects.
