Take Advantage of the Latest Guidance on the Hottest Area in HVAC! As health problems related to poor indoor air quality become increasingly evident, demand for better quality and efficiency in air systems is skyrocketing--making HVAC testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) the fatest-growing HVAC discipline. Here is a practical, nuts-and-bolts manual devoted to this specialty, now revised and updated with new information about such vital topics as: Indoor air quality; Energy recovery systems; Fan surge; Duct leakage; System performance; Temperture control verification; And more! You'll also find new chapters on systems balancing, controls, clean rooms, sound vibration, and solutions to TAB problems, as well as a chapter with a model standard for TAB cost-estimating. Sponsored by the National Environmental Balancing Bureau, the book's clear, step-by-step explanations will help you understand and meet requirements for testing, measuring, adjusting, balancing, troubleshooting, and cost-estimating TAB function for tall buildings, restaurants, hospitals, and other institutional settings.

Revised and updated to reflect mid-to-late-1990s technological and procedural developments in the design of HVAC systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Broad in scope, and practical, it offers information on how to design, operate and maintain peak-performance systems.

Developed over the course of many years of on-the-job projects involving HVAC energy auditing, testing/balancing and cost estimating, and refined through feedback from thousands of engineers and technicians who have used them, the forms contained in this manual are concise, comprehensive, and optimally organized for easy reference. Complete sets of forms are provided for all aspects of testing and balancing, energy auditing, indoor quality diagnosis, and load calculations. The first edition, entitled HVAC Energy Audit & Balancing Forms Manual compiled these time-saving forms for the first time in a single reference. This enhanced second edition adds a new chapter on technical management, providing procedures for achieving thorough, systematic and accurate problem solving, troubleshooting and decision making in building systems management and contracting.

The perfect on-the-job guide for beginning engineers, HVAC Principles and Applications Manual offers professionals a clear introduction to HVAC that bypasses hard-to-understand theory and complex mathematics. Based on methods approved by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, the book provides expert coverage of HVAC fundamentals as well as step-by-step design and application methods. Filled with examples, the manual is meant to simplify such tasks as calculating the heat loss rate of a building and choosing the right system controls. This practical and concise manual is a must for HVAC designers and engineers, engineers without HVAC experience, technicians, contractors, and other engineering professionals.

This manual is intended to assist engineers and technicians with a background of use of temperature, pressure, humidity, air flow, and flue gas instruments, to interpret their readings of field measurements. This determination will indicate the deficiencies of the system tested and methods of correction. Improvement of operation nearly always results in reduction of utility costs.
