A Guide Book to Design Electrical MEP System for Residential, Commercial & Industrial Buildings: (Hardcover)

My warm welcome and sincere gratitude to you for choosing to read this book, “A Guide Book to Design Electrical MEP System for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Buildings (2nd Edition).” While teaching Electrical MEP Design to my students, I realized that they were facing two major difficulties. First, they felt that the field of electrical engineering was like an ocean because it contains a vast number of concepts, calculations, systems, and technical requirements. Second, they found it difficult to visualize and understand some of the basic electrical concepts. As a teacher, I completely understand and accept these difficulties because many students face similar challenges while studying electrical engineering. However, I assured my students that these difficulties could be overcome through a simple and systematic approach to learning. Therefore, I consolidated the essential Electrical MEP Design concepts into 17 important topics and prepared study materials covering the fundamental knowledge required for practical electrical system design. My objective was to help students understand that Electrical MEP Design does not have to feel like an endless ocean. With the right approach and proper organization, it can be understood step by step. At the same time, I decided to include relevant images, illustrations, and visual explanations to make difficult concepts easier to understand and visualize. This approach helped my students enjoy the learning process and develop a better understanding of the concepts. Based on their feedback and suggestions, I created the Second Edition of this book for Electrical Engineering students, Electrical MEP Engineers, Design Engineers, and electrical professionals around the world. This book covers fundamental concepts, important definitions, applicable codes and standards, practical design procedures, and step-by-step calculations using several examples. I sincerely hope that you will also enjoy these study materials and find them useful in developing your understanding of Electrical MEP System Design. Learn Thoroughly! All the Best Wishes!
