introduction 

Are you searching for a practical handbook that will assist you in the process

of designing heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for

commercial buildings? The HVAC Design Sourcebook is the tool you need to

quickly become a valuable member of your design team.

The typical approach to training junior employees in the process of designing HVAC

systems is to have them try to learn the skills they need to work as effective members of

a design team from the senior HVAC engineers they are working under. Unfortunately,

the knowledge the senior engineers are expected to impart has taken them years to

develop and, without a practical training resource, the process of teaching junior HVAC

system designers the essentials of HVAC system design becomes time-consuming,

ineffective, and costly.

The HVAC Design Sourcebook fills the void in the industry for a practical resource to

assist in the process of training junior HVAC system designers in the basics of HVAC

system design. Essential design concepts are clearly explained and illustrated with

photographs of actual HVAC systems installations and graphical conventions used in

the preparation of construction drawings. Codes and standards are referenced frequently

to emphasize the need for HVAC systems to be designed in accordance with the

requirements of the regulating authorities. Other topics such as the overall design

process, HVAC systems and equipment, piping and duct work distribution systems,
