| Quest
for Comfort |
| In 1997 the book “Quest for Comfort” was published by the CIBSE to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the IHVE. To mark the first decade after that occasion the book has now been reproduced on this Heritage Group Website in electronic format. It will now enable all those persons interested in learning about the history of Building Engineering Services to be able to read and enjoy the book. |
