Transient Airflow in Building Drainage Systems

Providing the first comprehensive presentation of the groundbreaking research undertaken at Heriot Watt University with industrial funding, this book brings a new perspective to the design of building drainage and vent systems. It provides the building services community with clear and verifiable design methods that will be robust enough to meet challenges such as climate change and water conservation, population migration to the mega cities of the developing world and the consequent pressures of user concentration, the rise of the prestige building, and the introduction of new appliances and control strategies.
