Interior design professionals and academics seeking a single volume which holds all of the essentials will be pleased with this third edition of Building Systems for Interior Designers. It is updated with new illustrations, charts, and tables, and is completely current with respect to new technologies. Energy usage considerations inform many of the chapters, from overall building context, to heat flows through materials, to user interfaces that must be coordinated with the interior environment.The book recognizes the importance of the interior designer as a fully-informed contributor to the building design team. This objective yields a comprehensive backbone of knowledge for those studying for the NCIDQ examination, and for educators meeting the demands of a comprehensive accreditation process. The reader can easily find key terms and definitions, conveniently located within the appropriate level of treatment of these topics for the interior design professional: the emphasis is on understanding, not engineering.Many readers will find that the inclusion of chapters on lighting, acoustics, conveyances and fire protection permits a positive integration of this knowledge with structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems for holistic building knowledge.

As a practicing Interior Designer and an educator, I strongly recommend this book to my employees, and to my students. With well-crafted illustrations, and relevant information on current systems and technologies, the book has become an indispensable resource in our office. The material is clearly presented with a focus on the role of the interior designer as an integral part of the building design process.Felice Silverman, FIIDA - Principal, Silverman Trykowski Associates, Inc.
