A building can have efficient HVAC, properly sized electrical equipment, solar panels, and intelligent controls, and still perform badly when those systems are designed in isolation.
Modern buildings are connected energy systems. Heating and cooling loads affect electrical demand. Ventilation changes thermal performance. Heat pumps influence service capacity. Solar PV and batteries reshape power flow. EV charging adds major new loads. Controls determine whether everything works together.
Fundamentals of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings gives you the engineering foundation to understand these relationships, perform the calculations behind them, coordinate systems correctly, and carry sound decisions from design through commissioning and operation.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• Building physics, climate, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, heat transfer, moisture, and envelope behavior
• Heating and cooling load calculations with stated assumptions, units, and engineering reasoning
• Furnaces, boilers, electric heating, refrigeration, cooling equipment, and heat pumps
• Ventilation, duct sizing, pressure losses, fans, hydronic systems, piping, pumps, balancing, and diagnostics
• HVAC controls, BAS/BMS architecture, sequences, alarms, trends, and system integration
• Electrical fundamentals, three-phase power, distribution, grounding or earthing, loads, panels, protection, fault current, conductors, motors, power quality, and standby power
• Lighting design, LED systems, daylight integration, controls, emergency operation, and energy use
• Solar PV, battery storage, inverters, energy management, EV charging, managed charging, and bidirectional applications
• Integrated MEP coordination, commissioning, functional testing, handover, diagnostics, and life-cycle assurance
BUILT FOR PRACTICAL ENGINEERING
Across 16 chapters, calculations are developed step by step and connected to practical engineering decisions.
The book includes 74 practical examples, system schematics, design tables, control sequences, compliance checkpoints, practice problems, and answer keys. An integrated building case study brings HVAC, electrical distribution, controls, solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging together in one coordinated project.
You will also learn the DRIVE diagnostic method: Define, Read, Isolate, Verify, Execute and Evaluate. DRIVE helps you follow evidence, isolate likely causes, verify faults, correct confirmed problems, and evaluate the result.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
Designed for study and professional reference, this book is for engineering students, early-career designers, architects, contractors, technicians, facility professionals, and experienced practitioners seeking a cross-disciplinary understanding of building systems.
The approach covers the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, while locally adopted requirements remain project-specific.
Building systems no longer operate as separate specialties. Understanding how HVAC, electrical power, controls, renewable energy, storage, and electrification interact is essential to designing and operating buildings as complete systems.
Stop seeing MEP as separate pieces. Start understanding the building as one engineered whole.
Get your copy of Fundamentals of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings today and build practical MEP knowledge you can carry from design calculations to commissioning, diagnostics, and real-world operation.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
