Based on and contains all of the information from 10th edition of Architectural Graphic Standards.
This is the CD-ROM version of the standard reference, which is cited in Books for College Libraries, 1st ed. , but is inexplicably absent in Books for College Libaries, 3d ed. . The CD-ROM contains the entire new edition of the architect's desktop reference that details the latest changes in regulations, standards, building methods, structural systems and materials in use today. In addition to about 10,000 architectural elements, it presents installation and design configurations and recommended performance specifications for all building systems and components from door frames, roof designs, and air ducts, to outdoor sports facilities and historic preservation. New to this edition are chapters on accessibility and security design, plus expanded coverage of seven new building systems, lighting designs, new materials, and environmental construction.
