The Book

Value Engineering is widely misunderstood in the electrical engineering community—often perceived as a fault-finding exercise rather than the powerful optimization methodology it truly is.
This misconception creates defensiveness among designers and prevents the industry from realizing VE's full potential as a strategic design tool.This comprehensive guide bridges that gap. It integrates both the methodological foundation of Value Engineering and its focused application across the full spectrum of electrical systems: load estimation, power distribution (MV/LV), earthing and lightning protection, lighting design, emergency power and UPS systems, ICT and ELV infrastructure, fire and life safety systems, and cable management.More than theory, this book provides structured frameworks, system evaluation techniques, discipline-specific guidance, and a comprehensive set of checklists, templates, and practical tools that support both formal VE workshops and everyday design development. Whether you're conducting VE studies or developing standard designs, you'll find actionable methodologies for delivering high-performance, compliant, and cost-effective electrical systems.Available Worldwide at all major book retailers :
