Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning

Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning: Analysis and Design has long been considered the classic textbook for HVAC design courses. Now in its Seventh Edition, the book has been fully updated to align with the latest technologies and industry developments while maintaining the balance of theoretical information with practical applications that has prepared many generations of students for their careers. As they work through the book, students will become familiar with different types of heating and air conditioning systems and equipment, will understand processes and concepts involving moist atmospheric air, will learn how to provide comfort to occupants in controlled spaces, and will gain practice calculating probably heat loss/gain and energy requirements. The Seventh Edition includes new coverage of ductless A/C systems, heat exchangers and hybrid heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, energy-efficient equipment, and UV principles of air quality treatment of airborne viruses like COVID-19. Throughout the book, the content has been made more student-friendly with new chapter learning objectives and sample problems that highlight newer technologies and applications. A companion website includes additional multiple-choice questions, tutorial videos showing problem-solving for R-calculation, and Excel spreadsheets that can be used for practice calculations.
