Herbert Bucksch Book order (chronological)

Present building processes are marked by increasing internationalization. Building projects are tendered, planned, controlled, and implemented Europe- and even world-wide. Technical equipping of buildings is becoming increasingly important with the complexity of modern buildings. At the same time in this field many technical disciplines are overlapping, from Structural Engineering to Mechanical Engineering, to Electrical Engineering, to Automation right to Control Technology, each of which having its own specialised terminology. This is very demanding for the communication between planners and implementors. This dictionary provides technical terms for the broad domain of the building construction technology from A to Z, from absorption factor 'to zone air conditioning'. Containing more than 35,000 entries this dictionary covers the entire terminology of the building services field. For each keyword the common synonyms are provided, taking into account both British and American English. Many terms offer additional short explanations in German or English for better understanding and correct use. The dictionary contains not only technical terms from the construction field, but also from heating, ventilation and air condition technology, computer terminology as well as from control and regulation techniques and thus fulfills the requirements of a large circle of users in this interdisciplinary field.
