NEW AND FEATURED PUBLICATIONS
Practical Guide
to Seismic
Restraint,
Second Edition
James R. Tauby;
Richard Lloyd
This 2011 edition is
a comprehensive,
detailed, and
current manual that shows how to design,
specify, and install seismic restraints for
all mechanical and plumbing systems
in buildings to meet the latest code
requirements. It provides consulting
engineers, architects, project managers,
contractors, building officials, and equipment
manufacturers with information they need on
codes as well as specification considerations,
with numerous illustrated examples for clear
understanding.
In addition to an introduction to the
fundamentals of earthquakes and seismic
restraints, this second edition includes:
• Updates on building codes, including
the 2009 International Building Code®
(IBC®), which has been adopted by most
jurisdictions; the American Society of Civil
Engineers’ (ASCE) Standard ASCE 7; the
2010 California Building Code (CBC), and
Canada’s National Building Code
• Information on shake table testing to
meet the requirements for certification of
equipment for essential facilities
• A new section on using flexible connectors
to help mitigate failure of equipment piping
connections (one of the leading causes of
system shutdown in earthquakes)
UFAD Guide:
Design,
Construction
and Operation
of Underfloor
Air Distribution
Systems
This guide is ideal for
HVAC design engineers,
architects, building owners, facility managers,
equipment manufacturers and installers,
utility engineers, researchers, and other
users of underfloor air distribution (UFAD)
technology. UFAD systems are innovative
methods for delivering space conditioning in
offices and other commercial buildings.
Improved thermal comfort, improved
ventilation efficiency and indoor air quality,
as well as reduced energy use and reduced
life-cycle building costs -- The guide explains
these as some of the advantages that UFAD
systems have over traditional overhead air
distribution systems.
This guide provides assistance in the design
of UFAD systems that are energy efficient,
intelligently operated, and effective in their
performance. It also describes important
research results that support current thinking
on UFAD design and includes an extensive
annotated bibliography for those seeking
additional detailed information.
