Being SUSTAINABLE: Building Systems Performance by Dennis Fukai
If the CD is anything like Building SIMPLE it will contain great animations and other SketchUp files to serve as a foundation for students in architecture and construction who are interested in understanding these systems visually. --Michael O"Brien, William E. Jamerson Professor of Building Construction, Virginia Tech
This book combines animations, interactive 3D models, short videos, 3D illustrations, and captioned text to give readers a visual tour of the building systems supporting the operation of a commercial building.
This includes the design, construction, and the operation of a variety of mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations with a focus on their integration and interaction, rather than the details of any one system.
The goal of this book is therefore to illustrate the complexity of how these individual building systems fit together in order to understand the difficulties of calculating and coordinating their design and construction.
The objective is to help readers visually understand the inherent challenges designers and constructors face in putting together any building as a single, fully integrated, and sustainable collection of building systems.

| Description | Gem! This book is packed with detailed information in a fun to read and 3D interactive format. Regardless of the reader"s level of knowledge on this consequential subject, this book can serve as an introduction, review and reference. The ideas are presented clearly and completely. Professionals and lay persons alike can find use for the holistic concepts in the planning and construction of buildings of any scale, from single family homes to high rises. --Gretchen Ann Meili, Architect AIA, NCARBI would recommend Being SUSTAINABLE especially as an effective visual reference for energy conserving and energy generating mechanical and electrical systems.
