third update of the Technical Note TN 17/95: Rules of Thumb last issued in 1995 The rules have been collected from various contemporary sources in the building services industry and can reasonably be held to reflect current design practices The sources include major design offices, individual engineers and public domain information published by BSRIA and others The industry review team for this project comprised: John Louis Auguste (Bovis Lend-Lease), Dennis Bastow (NHS Estates), Brian Charlesworth (Troup Bywaters & Anders), Laurie Clark (Cundall Johnston & Partners), Michelle Field (Buro Happold), Manus Freeman (SVM Partnership), Nigel Hawkes (Fulcrum Consulting), Glen Irwin (Roberts & Partners), Bob Keenan and Dr Ian Selby (Sheppard Robson, on behalf of the British Council for Offices), Nick Mead (ACDP), Richard Tudor (WSP Group), and Gay Lawrence Race and John Sands (BSRIA) We would also like to thank AMEC Capital Projects, BAA plc, N G Bailey, Bryan Franklin, Building Design Partnership, Foggo Associates, Foremans Ltd, Hoare Lea & Partners, Max Fordham & Partners, Stanhope, and Whitby Bird & Partners for their help Finally, BSRIA would like to make special acknowedgement to the consulting engineers Foremans Ltd, whose financial support has enabled BSRIA to extend the print run BSRIA also acknowledges the editing help of Nigel Pavey, author of the second edition of Rules of Thumb and now chief engineer with Foremans Ltd All rights reserved No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any

Printed by The Chameleon Press Ltd How to use this guide What this guide will Rules of Thumb has been written to help engineers in the initial stages of designing a building and its services By gathering many of the most common rules of thumb into one document, BSRIA has provided a powerful source of inital design data that every engineer should find indispensable Thumb rules (or heuristics as they are more properly known) are extremely useful values for use at various stages of design, such as project inception and outline briefing, feasibility planning, the assessment of global loads and space requirements They are also useful for getting a initial grasp of costs Rules of thumb come in handy for carrying out "what if" calculations, and for use by senior engineers when checking the work of junior engineers The data have been derived from a wide variety of authoratative sources, all of which are referenced All the figures quoted have also been assessed for usefulness and relevance by a panel of experienced, practising services engineers What this guide will not While every effort has been made to establish current practice, the guide's authors are keen to point out that the rules of thumb are merely aids to the design process They must not be used in place of detailed design data The responsibility for the safe and appropriate use of this data therefore rests with the engineer Rules of Thumb has been designed to be your own personal reference document Use it, add your own data to it, and guard it jealously And please let us know how it works and where it can be improved Roderic Bunn Publisher Rules of Thumb BSRIA 2001 Space and weight allowances When to use: During the early stages of design prior to plant selection or system analysis Where to use:
