The design of supply pipework and systems in buildings requires an understanding of the relationships between water supply and disposal. BASICS Water Cycles presents the fundamentals and technical background of sanitary installations and explains clearly the key factors that must be considered in the design of water cycles in buildings.  The focus here is on relations among the individual elements of the cycle, from the supply of drinking water, consumers inside the building, and the disposal of wastewater to the rehabilitation of wastewater. The subject of water conservation is present throughout as an overarching framework.Planning efficient Water Circulation:  Requirements for drinking water;  Supply connections and distribution networks in the building;  Wastewater disposal and use;  Dealing with rainwater;  Resource-friendly approaches;  Conceptual design of water cycles as part of integrated building services planning;  A basic grasp of sanitary installations in buildings;  A conscious approach to water as a resource in planning;  Technical background and systematic understandingDoris Haas-Arndt represents the fields of building ecology und technical building equipment at the University of Siegen, Germany.BASICS Architectural Series:  At the beginning of one's architecture studies, there are many unknowns: what is really important? how do I brainstorm a design idea? how can this idea be depicted and ultimately implemented?  BASICS is a series that imparts fundamental knowledge in compact individual volumes as well as in topical compendiums. It offers precise, step-by-step discussions, systematically covering the most important material pertaining to a given topic. Tailored to the needs of students, the series addresses all key subject areas, including design, architectural presentation, construction, professional practice, building services, landscape architecture, and urbanism.
