Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning Analysis and Design

Based on the most recent standards from ASHRAE, the sixth edition provides complete and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The latest load calculation procedures, indoor air quality procedures, and issues related to ozone depletion are covered. New to this edition is the inclusion of additional realistic, interactive and in-depth examples available on the book website (www.wiley.com/college/mcquiston) that enable students to simulate various scenarios to apply concepts from the text. Also integrated throughout the text are numerous worked examples that clearly show students how to apply the concepts in realistic scenarios. The sixth edition has also been revised to be more accessible to students for easier comprehension.

Suitable for one or two semester, Junior/Senior/Graduate course in HVAC taught in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering Technology departments.
