 More then the title suggests April 10, 2010
W. Frazier (Pasadena, CA USA)
I have been referencing past editions of this book for years. It's the bible to architects for understanding this subject matter. It covers more then the title suggests including overall design strategy for site and building, passive design for the building environment, acoustics, illumination and day-lighting, water conservations systems, vertical building transportation systems and design, fire protection and suppression design, along with the active mechanical and electrical systems design and equipment technology that the title suggests. It is one of the core reference books for the architect's library and others related to building construction. This new addition updates to the latest technology, and sustainable design practices. Another great book for passive design related to building arrangement and form is Sun, Wind & Light: Architectural Design Strategies, 2nd Edition
I simply loved it May 2, 2010
Furat Y. Sallumi (Dubai, United Arab Emirates)
I am a Resident Engineer and I was looking for one book to cover the MEP systems and equipments to help me cover all the project aspects. I have several books on buildings services but this one is simply my best. It never leaves my office desk. Thanks to Amazon.
Excellent Product Condition, Slow Delivery February 14, 2010

I needed this book for my ARCH 273 class and it arrived to me in fantastic condition, "like new", as it said. The only aspect I was slightly unsatisfied with was the amount of time it took to get here. It was on the far end of the estimated delivery date that it arrived. Other than that, I had a great experience.
 Heavy - literally and figuratively July 1, 2010
Avid Reader (Washington, DC USA)
Densely written and way more detailed than we needed for our class in Architecture school. Not easy to read but if you need all the details of HVAC systems including every calculation you need, it's the right book. I've recommended that our prof choose a different book in the future as there are better ones for architecture students who don't need the full mech engineering detail.
