Description:

An essential guide for HVAC designers tasked with training team members HVAC Design Sourcebookfills the need that senior HVAC engineers have for a practical resource to assist in training junior engineers in the basics of HVAC systems design. This invaluable guide uses photographs to illustrate the numerous essential HVAC system components in their actual installed conditions adjacent to graphical representations of the components. The book shows how the components should be represented on construction drawings, along with text outlining important design considerations. This provides you with a thorough understanding of the steps required for proper installation of HVAC systems and insight…
