Basics Electro Planning translates the technical principles of electrical installations in buildings into practical guidance, covering everything from power supply systems and distribution boards to information technology and lightning protection.
About This Book
Part of Birkhäuser's Basics series, this compact volume addresses the fundamentals of electro planning as an integrated component of architectural and building design. Electrical installations are too often treated as an afterthought, yet they shape spatial planning, structural detailing, and building performance in significant ways. This book bridges that gap, presenting core concepts — power supply, wiring layouts, distribution boards, forms of installation, slots and recesses, and lightning protection systems — in a format accessible to architecture students and early-career practitioners. For those navigating the coordination between design intent and technical compliance, it is a reliable and concise reference.
