CIBSE Concise Handbook

This third edition of CIBSE's best-selling Concise Handbook provides members with an up-to-date source of reference to help them to locate fundamental information quickly, and find out where the comprehensive information is located in the full CIBSE Guides. This Handbook, which now includes selected information from the 2007 edition of Guide C and the 2008 Guide M, has been produced to help members to give quick responses to enquiries and to provide easy access to the detailed information available in other CIBSE publications. In only a fraction of the space taken up by the full CIBSE Guides, the Concise Handbook offers a quick snapshot of the salient information - enabling you to understand the main issues and to do some outline calculations prior to producing a fully worked-out plan. The Concise Handbook will be of value both to practicing building services engineers and to those who have recently entered the building services field. The Concise Handbook provides a summary of key areas, including the more commonly used information and tables. The information it contains is fully revised and is consistent with the information in the most recently updated Guides. It should be emphasised that this publication cannot and does not replace the full Guides, but is intended to be a ready point of reference.
