A sizeable compendium of structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and acoustical design data. With 450 universal design scenarios, walks readers through the steps of designing, selecting, and sizing almost any functional component of a building. Introduces two fundamentally new approaches toward the sizing of functional components: parameter design, which involves determining the optimal dimensions of a component’s outermost characteristics regardless of its inner details; and the gauging equation, an algebra to determine a component’s size by some practical or experimental criteria when a scientifically articulated method either does not exist or is needlessly complex. The CD-ROM, for IBM compatibles, includes over 900 formulas and nearly 100 design tools, has a quick search component, and can be incorporated into CAD.
