Customer Reviews

Introductory book
I have read the first few chapters of the book and I noticed the following:
1. The book is easy to read and follow.
2. Not many examples.
3. No problems at the end of the chapters. I am going to use it as a textbook for a building services course. Having no problems at the end of the chapters will prevent students from practicing and testing their knowledge.
