- The Building Systems Engineering Handbook is the definitive reference for engineers, designers, inspectors, and facility professionals who plan, design, or maintain building infrastructure systems. This comprehensive guide brings together all major building disciplines—Electrical, Mechanical (HVAC), Plumbing, Fire Protection, Low Voltage, and Automation—into one coordinated volume, making it an indispensable resource for design offices, field engineers, and technical educators.Whether you’re working on a commercial office, healthcare facility, or mixed-use development, this handbook gives you the tools to understand how every system connects, communicates, and functions as part of a unified engineering ecosystem. What’s InsideElectrical Systems: Power distribution, grounding, lighting design, and emergency power coordination.HVAC Systems: Heating, cooling, air distribution, and energy efficiency strategies.Plumbing Systems: Domestic water, sanitary drainage, stormwater management, and fixture design.Fire Protection Systems: Sprinklers, suppression, fire alarm, life safety integration, and NFPA-based design.Low Voltage Systems: CCTV, access control, public address, data, and structured cabling networks.Building Automation: BAS/BMS architecture, IoT integration, predictive maintenance, and smart building controls.Code References: NEC, NFPA, IPC, IMC, ASHRAE, IECC, and TIA standards summarized for quick access.Appendices: Standard symbols, inspection checklists, troubleshooting flowcharts, and a complete sample building design — Riverside Business Center — with coordinated riser diagrams and blueprint-style visuals. Key FeaturesCovers all major MEP + ELV disciplines in one book Fully aligned with international and U.S. codes and standards Includes practical examples, riser diagrams, and design workflows Features field-ready inspection and commissioning checklists Ideal for engineers, inspectors, students, and facility managers Prepared by industry professionals with real-world experience About This HandbookDeveloped by the Practicing Engineers Network, this handbook reflects years of collective field and design experience. Each section has been carefully curated to ensure clarity, technical accuracy, and direct applicability to modern construction practices. The content is visually supported with blueprint-style drawings, integrated sample projects, and real-world coordination details that mirror actual construction documents. Who This Book Is ForElectrical, mechanical, and plumbing engineersFire protection and life-safety specialistsLow-voltage and security system designersBuilding inspectors, facility engineers, and maintenance teamsStudents and trainees in MEP design or building technologyArchitects and project managers seeking integrated understanding of building systems From Design to IntegrationThis book goes beyond theory — it demonstrates how to connect systems into one cohesive, intelligent building infrastructure. Readers will gain the knowledge to design, evaluate, and troubleshoot interconnected systems that define the performance, safety, and efficiency of modern facilities.
