Synopsis

HVAC design becomes difficult when dozens of individual engineering decisions must work together as one functioning building system.
A load calculation affects equipment capacity. Equipment selection affects ductwork, piping, pumps, fans, controls, and energy performance. Distribution decisions affect pressure, comfort, and system operation. HVAC Systems Engineering Handbook provides an integrated technical reference for connecting these decisions throughout the HVAC design and project-delivery process.
This comprehensive handbook covers:

• Psychrometrics, moist-air properties, sensible and latent loads, and cooling processes
• Thermal comfort, indoor environmental quality, ventilation, filtration, and air-quality considerations
• Heating and cooling load calculations, design conditions, diversity, and documentation
• Building-envelope heat transfer, glazing, insulation, infiltration, and condensation risk
• Air distribution, VAV systems, dedicated outdoor air systems, diffusers, zoning, and specialty distribution approaches
• Duct sizing, pressure-loss calculations, fabrication standards, leakage testing, insulation, and field quality control
• Fans, pumps, hydronic systems, piping, system curves, operating points, and equipment selection
• Refrigeration cycles, pressure-enthalpy analysis, refrigerants, heat pumps, boilers, furnaces, chillers, and cooling towers
• Packaged and split systems, variable refrigerant flow, economizers, and equipment integration
• HVAC controls, building automation, energy-efficiency requirements, testing, adjusting, balancing, and commissioning
• Special applications including healthcare facilities, laboratories, data centers, cleanrooms, multifamily buildings, and retrofit projects

The book goes beyond isolated formulas by showing how engineering concepts connect through real project decisions. Worked examples and extended case studies address load calculations, system selection, equipment comparisons, control sequences, performance investigations, commissioning, value engineering, redundancy, and coordination with other disciplines.
The handbook is designed for HVAC and mechanical design engineers, building systems engineers, commissioning professionals, and technical practitioners involved in commercial, institutional, and industrial projects. It is also useful as a structured reference for engineers who need to move between calculations, equipment selection, distribution design, controls, construction documentation, and performance verification.
Use this handbook during schematic design, design development, construction documentation, equipment selection, commissioning, troubleshooting, and technical review.
Open the handbook and develop a clearer, more connected understanding of HVAC systems engineering—from fundamental calculations and system selection to controls, commissioning, and real-world project performance.
