Trades & Technology

For courses in Lighting Design, Architectural Design, and Interior Design in departments of architecture and construction. May be one of several books used for Electrical and Mechanical Systems Design. Concise, yet substantive, this primer helps students develop a solid working knowledge of the design decisions, equipment options, and operating costs associated with building lighting and electrical installations. Unique in perspective, it emphasizes “design intent” as the driving force for architectural lighting decisions and related electrical construction.
