Overview

The skyline of modern cities is increasingly dominated by high-rise buildings-complex vertical structures that demand equally sophisticated infrastructure to ensure the safety, comfort, and functionality of their occupants. Among the critical systems underpinning these towering constructions, electrical power distribution stands as one of the most essential. From powering elevators and HVAC systems to ensuring seamless connectivity and life-safety systems, the efficient and reliable delivery of electrical energy is fundamental. Designing and managing power distribution in high-rise buildings presents unique challenges not typically encountered in low-rise structures. Factors such as vertical distance, space constraints, load diversity, emergency power requirements, and energy efficiency all intersect in a high-density environment. Moreover, as buildings rise in height and complexity, the implications of a power failure grow exponentially-making redundancy, resilience, and intelligent control indispensable. This book is a comprehensive guide for engineers, designers, facility managers, and students involved in the planning, implementation, and operation of electrical systems in high-rise buildings. It explores the end-to-end process of power distribution-from utility entry points and transformers, through vertical risers and floor-level distribution, to integration with building management systems and backup power supplies.
