Paperback. Turn HVAC theory into buildings that actually perform. Every HVAC design begins with a simple demand and a hard reality: keep indoor air comfortable, healthy, and efficient while the weather outside swings by tens of degrees - and an equation you cannot run on real numbers is one you do not truly own. Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, controls, human comfort, and building codes all press on a single design decision at once, usually while a schedule runs. Many references stop at tidy theory or hand over rules of thumb without the reasoning, leaving engineers to bridge the gap between the classroom and a commissioned building alone. This handbook closes that gap. It develops every method from first principles and carries it through complete, unit-tracked calculations - from the physics of a single air process to a fully commissioned, maintainable system - so you can execute the work, not just recognize it. Inside, you will: Build integrated fluency that links comfort targets, load calculations, equipment selection, and control logic instead of treating them as separate subjects. Follow fully worked examples that show every step, with end-of-chapter practice problems and boxed answer keys to check your own work. Calculate loads, size and select equipment, and lay out air and water distribution with methods you can apply directly to your projects. Analyze refrigeration cycles, chilled-water plants, and heat-pump systems, and read the performance numbers that separate an efficient design from a wasteful one. Design and sequence controls, then quantify energy use, life-cycle cost, and efficiency savings in defensible terms. Work in both inch-pound and SI units, following current United States practice throughout. Carry a design through ventilation, commissioning, testing and balancing, and troubleshooting - where real buildings succeed or fail. Key topics: thermal comfort and psychrometrics; envelope heat transfer and heating and cooling load calculations; refrigeration cycles, refrigerants, and the low-GWP refrigerant transition; duct design, fans, and pumps; boilers, hydronics, and radiant heating; chilled-water plants and cooling towers; ventilation, filtration, and indoor air quality; air-handling units and terminal equipment; controls and building automation; energy efficiency and life-cycle cost; heat pumps and emerging low-carbon technologies; and whole-system design integration, commissioning, and maintenance - supported by extensive reference appendices and a complete building design example. Who it is for: practicing mechanical and building-services engineers, engineers moving into HVAC from adjacent fields, and advanced engineering students who have completed introductory thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Read in sequence it works as a course; consulted by chapter, it serves as a dependable working reference. Open the handbook and start building the integrated, calculation-ready understanding that turns HVAC theory into buildings that perform. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Turn HVAC theory into buildings that actually perform.
Every HVAC design begins with a simple demand and a hard reality: keep indoor air comfortable, healthy, and efficient while the weather outside swings by tens of degrees — and an equation you cannot run on real numbers is one you do not truly own.
Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, controls, human comfort, and building codes all press on a single design decision at once, usually while a schedule runs. Many references stop at tidy theory or hand over rules of thumb without the reasoning, leaving engineers to bridge the gap between the classroom and a commissioned building alone.
This handbook closes that gap. It develops every method from first principles and carries it through complete, unit-tracked calculations — from the physics of a single air process to a fully commissioned, maintainable system — so you can execute the work, not just recognize it.
Inside, you will:
-
Build integrated fluency that links comfort targets, load calculations, equipment selection, and control logic instead of treating them as separate subjects.
-
Follow fully worked examples that show every step, with end-of-chapter practice problems and boxed answer keys to check your own work.
-
Calculate loads, size and select equipment, and lay out air and water distribution with methods you can apply directly to your projects.
-
Analyze refrigeration cycles, chilled-water plants, and heat-pump systems, and read the performance numbers that separate an efficient design from a wasteful one.
-
Design and sequence controls, then quantify energy use, life-cycle cost, and efficiency savings in defensible terms.
-
Work in both inch-pound and SI units, following current United States practice throughout.
-
Carry a design through ventilation, commissioning, testing and balancing, and troubleshooting — where real buildings succeed or fail.
Key topics: thermal comfort and psychrometrics; envelope heat transfer and heating and cooling load calculations; refrigeration cycles, refrigerants, and the low-GWP refrigerant transition; duct design, fans, and pumps; boilers, hydronics, and radiant heating; chilled-water plants and cooling towers; ventilation, filtration, and indoor air quality; air-handling units and terminal equipment; controls and building automation; energy efficiency and life-cycle cost; heat pumps and emerging low-carbon technologies; and whole-system design integration, commissioning, and maintenance — supported by extensive reference appendices and a complete building design example.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes.
