Jack R. Lewis

This text provide great general information on all the unseen sytems that make a modern building modern. Because the writing is very technical, it isn't something you'd sit down and read with a cup of coffee. It can be engaging, however, to any person construction tradesman or the hands-on do-it-yourselfer.

Lewis’s book of Support Systems for Buildings explains many components of the modern building. Most people would not sit down and read this book for fun, but it contains guides and regulations for energy and environment management, plumbing, electrical work and much more. Information on codes and regulations are also given. Some of the information may require a background in construction or engineering. This book is essential to any engineer or construction worker in this field.
