The publication of CIBSE Guide K: Electricity in buildings fills a significant gap in the range of publications produced by the CIBSE.Work on the Guide has been carried out intermittently for more than 14 years. Guide K is not intended as a textbook for those wishing to learn electrical engineering but rather as a reference source for engineers, architects, surveyors and other professionals who requires easy access to the information contained therein.Similarly, it is not intended that this Guide should be read from beginning to end in one go. Instead, the reader should dip into the relevant section that is of particular interest in respect of the project in hand.Whilst the authors and contributors have tried to produce a document that will prove to be a valuable source of reference and guidance, it is inevitable that some users will find areas that they consider should include further information. Constructive criticism and comment is welcomed in order to improve and extend the document.
