Since the second edition of CIBSE Guide G was published, various amendments to the Building Regulations, British Standards and the introduction of new codes have heavily influenced the content of this new edition. In particular, the emphasis on water conservation and sustainability has had an impact on many chapters, as well as resulted in the Guide being reformatted. The British Standard relating to both building and site drainage and water services has been updated and superseded by a BS EN and this again has affected many chapters. The opportunity has also been taken by chapter authors to carry out general updates and, in the majority of cases, extend the coverage of their chapters.
