Hi everyone! Design of electrical systems for buildings is the field I want to engage in the future. I have already basic concepts learned about this. But I want to improve myself in this field. I am looking for a reliable and organized reference. Please help me choose the book/reference I should study.

Welcome to the PF.

In the United States, the reference is the "National Electric Code":

What country are you in? Also, in recent years, "smart buildings" have become much more popular, especially for the energy savings. You may need to learn a bit about building automation networks in addition to learning the NEC.
