Principles of Heating, Ventilating, And Air Conditioning: A Textbook With Design Data Based on the 2009 Ashrae Handbook-fundamentals

This text has been updated with information from the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals. It:- Explains Radiant Time Series (RTS) methodology- Offers enhanced treatment of RTS procedures for non-residential cooling and heating loads- Gives in-depth coverage of sustainability and ''green'' building design- Is an excellent textbook and reference- Is perfect for self-instruction by engineers- Includes a CD-ROM with RTS Method Load Calculation SpreadsheetsASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing, and continuing education. The ASHRAE Handbooks are the design standard for control of built environments with volumes on Systems and Equipment, HVAC Applications, Refrigeration and Fundamentals. Each is updated every four years. In addition to publishing design guidance for engineers, architects, and facility managers, we also publish a series of texts for classroom use. Some of the areas we publish in include: -Energy Modeling and Auditing -High Performance Building Design -Psychrometrics -Indoor Air Quality and Environmental Quality -Data Center Energy Efficiency -Noise & Vibration Control -Humidity Control -HVAC for Healthcare Facilities
