Electrical Design of Commercial
and Industrial Buildings
John
Hauck
A Hands-On
Approach to Electrical Design
Electrical
Design of Commercial and Industrial Buildings
teaches the critical components of electrical design through an
integrated approach that combines fundamental theory with hands-on
practice.
By taking an
applied-learning approach to instruction, this text explains
electrical principles, design criteria, codes, and other key
elements of the design process, then guides
readers through each step as they create their own electrical
design plans.
Includes an
Interactive CD-ROM,
& four full-size electrical design plans
- accompanied by example equipment lists, lighting fixture
schedules, and calculation templates.
As an integrated learning
tool, Electrical Design of Commercial and Industrial
Buildings is both an essential teaching guide for
electrical design instructors and an enduring reference book for
students and professionals.

Key Features:
Electrical
Design for Commercial and Industrial Buildings
provides students with the ability to understand
how electrical plans are conceptualized, designed, and
compiled and illustrates how to apply this knowledge to the
cases they will encounter in the field.
The unique hands-on
approach of this text does much more than simply relay
theory and teach the ability to read blueprints; it provides
real-world examples, relevant codes and requirements, and an
opportunity to increase student knowledge about key aspects
of an electrical design.
Features that reinforce and expand on essential
information include:
- Charged
