Biography

David V. Chadderton was formerly a Principal Lecturer in building services engineering at Southampton Solent University, a Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University, and lectured in Melbourne and Ballarat. He also spent time as a self-employed energy auditor, and an energy performance contracting engineer in Melbourne before retiring recently.

"In this new edition, innovative technologies such as renewable energy systems have been included which are particularly important to the understanding of energy reduction in mechanical and electrical services. Outlining the concept of zero carbon buildings is another timely addition."

Dr Runming Yao, University of Reading

"...a well-structured, all-inclusive introduction of the essential materials for BSE study. On top of the classic competencies required of building services engineers (i.e. air conditioning, electrical installations, fire protection, and water services) the increasingly important contexts in which building services engineers have a vital role to play (i.e. climate change, energy economics and post occupancy), are also covered."

Dr. Joseph H.K. Lai, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
