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 introduc 606 $aPlumbing$xWaste-pipes$xSimulation methods 606 $aDrainage$xSimulation methods 606 $aVentilation$xSimulation methods 606 $aAir flow$xSimulation methods 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlumbing$xWaste-pipes$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aDrainage$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aVentilation$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aAir flow$xSimulation methods. 676 $a696/.1 700 $aSwaffield$b J.
