Description
Water, sanitary and waste services represent a substantial proportion of the cost of construction, averaging 10% of the capital costs
of building and with continuing costs in operation and maintenance. Nevertheless, they are often regarded as a 'Cinderella' within the
building process. Parts of many different codes and regulations impact on these services, making an overall viewpoint more difficult
to get.
This new edition of this classic text draws together material from a variety of sources to provide the comprehensive coverage
not available elsewhere. It is a resource for the sound design, operation and maintenance of these services and should be on the bookshelf
of every building services engineer and architect.
Audience
Building Services Engineers, Architects
