This book addresses the integration of service subsystems such as lighting, heating and air conditioning, water supply, electrical power, waste removal and elevators into a building. The authors discusses and illustrates the construction development of these systems within a building, as well as the response of the general building construction to the incorporation of these systems. Case studies of nine buildings provide an on-the-job look at wide range of building uses, sizes and forms of construction. Designers and builders using this guide gain a rare opportunity to see the specific development of individual subsystems within the context of the general building framework.

This third volume in VNR's Building Construction Series provides construction professionals with details on site and below-grade systems in the form that they need it: both piecemeal and for whole building projects. It covers site construction involved in basements, underground buildings, and other forms of construction under the ground. Case studies offer realistic, on-the-job looks at a variety of building types. Use of a design-oriented point of view rather than a specifier's perspective throughout makes the guide especially accessible to architects, interior designers, and engineers.
