Building Services Handbook summarises all elements of building services practice, techniques and procedures. Information is presented in the highly illustrated and accessible visual style as found in the companion title the Building Construction Handbook.

This is an essential text for all construction and building services students up to undergraduate level. It is an ideal resource for a wide range of courses including, BTEC National, HNC / HND and NVQs. The comprehensive coverage and numerous references to the latest Building, Water Supply, IEE Wiring Regulations and other relevant standards also makes this book an invaluable reference tool for building services professionals.

The third edition has been updated and expanded to take into account the latest revisions to the Building Regulations. Significant changes include electrical installation safety requirements (Part P), which have been included in the Building Regulations for the first time, and new regulations concerning energy efficiency (Part L). Reference to supplementary regulations and standards are provided for further reading, and additional worked examples have been included throughout. The third edition also offers new online lecture resources, with sets of power point slides available for a selection of services areas, featuring essential illustrations for use with presentations and handouts.

Roger Greeno is a well-known author of construction texts. He has extensive practical and consultancy experience in the industry, in addition to lecturing at Guildford College and the University of Portsmouth. He also examines for City and Guilds, Edexcel and the Chartered Institute of Building.

Fred Hall's books on Building Services have helped thousands of students gain their qualifications and pass exams. He was formerly a Senior Lecturer at Guildford College.

* Updated in line with key changes to the Building Regulations, including electrical installation safety requirements (Part P), and energy efficiency (Part L)
* Follows the same unique visual style as its bestselling companion title Building Construction Handbook (Chudley & Greeno)
* New web-based lecturer support material: sets of PowerPoint slides for a selection of building services areas featuring essential illustrations, for use in presentations and handouts
