Rea, Mark S., ed. The IESNA Lighting Handbook:
Reference & Application.
The IESNA
Lighting Handbook provides general lighting design guidelines. These guidelines are used to develop lighting
solutions that take all design aspects into account.

Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential
Buildings. IP
Edition. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating
and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Inc.
ASHRAE 90.1
is followed to meet specific power requirements and limitations throughout the
design process. Minimum requirements for
lighting power density and control usage should be strictly followed to be sure
all systems pass local and state regulatory laws.

The 2002
NEC provides tables and charts for sizing conductors, conduit, circuit breakers
and other electrical equipment. The 2002
NEC will be used for the redesign of the various electrical portions of the new
addition.

book covers the basic design of the electrical power distribution systems in
commercial and industrial applications.
This book will be used as a guide in the redesign areas of new West Wing
Addition.

Handbook, HVAC Systems and Equipment. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning
Engineers, Inc.,
The ASHRAE Handbook of HVAC Systems and
Equipment deals with all equipment involved in building HVAC systems. It
defines the intended operation of each piece of equipment involved in building
mechanical systems. It also serves as a reference
for acceptable building mechanical operation.

RS Means,
Mechanical Cost Data. Version 2004
The RS Means Mechanical Cost Data is used as a reference
to obtain general pricing information on different mechanical components. This
pricing information was then used in determining cost differences between two
systems as well as a payback period on
the new redesigned mechanical system.
