Product Description
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. You'll find the latest load calculation procedures, indoor air quality procedures, and issues related to ozone depletion. Also integrated throughout the text are numerous worked examples that clearly show you how to apply the concepts in realistic scenarios.
The revision of this text continues to offer comprehensive treatment of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning concepts: - All material is based on the updated ASHRAE Handbook and product criteria and uses both SI and English units.
- Practical, realistic problems are presented and the latest procedures and issues are covered.
- Suitable for advanced study in HVAC mechanical engineering, architectural engineering, and mechanical engineering technology departments.

 Horrible!! May 10, 2006
E. A. Johnson (Butte, MT USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
By far the worst text book I've ever had to use. Riddled with errors. Poor and incomplete explanations of complex subject matter. Examples and problems often with errors. Does lead the student into intense studying of content, if only to understand exactly what authors are saying and whether it is correct or not. Included software worthless except for limited use in solving problems in text.
This book should be offered free to India, Japan, and China to give us an edge over their HVAC engineerng expertise.
 The 6th edition DOES include a CD March 31, 2005

I am holding beside me a 6th edition with the CD in the back of the book. The 6th edition DOES include a CD, unlike what the previous review wrote. I had to write this so others are not mislead. Maybe some books people are selling don't include it -- what to do? Just ask the seller if their book has a CD with it. Mine does, and others do too.
 Book does not include CD August 30, 2004
Coolpens (Pennsylvania)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is equal in quality of content to edition 5 except that the version of edition 6 being sold here does not contain the CD normally included with this textbook. The publisher's web site states "New to this edition (edition 6) is the inclusion of additional realistic, interactive and in-depth examples on CD". This CD would also contain the software that was included with edition 5. According to the publisher's tech support however, the version of edition 6 being sold by Amazon.com is for use under the guidance of an instructor where apparently the material on the CD would not be needed. If this book is for personal use I recommend a version that includes the CD.
 Excellent HVAC Book March 20, 2003

This is an excellent HVAC text. The concepts are clearly explained and well developed. The references in the book are current with ASHRAE standards which is of utmost utility and importance. The minor drawback from the text is the simplicity of the examples; fortunately the excellent explanation and development of the concepts by the authors helps in overcoming this small flaw. Excellent book overall. I highly recommend it.
Used it as a Quick referernce book for HVAC course May 2, 2000

This book is a good source for determining all the design needs for HVAC systems from calculating the heating /cooling load to duct design and fan selection which is essential to assure an economical, energy-efficient, maintainable and flex design that will only not be technically adequate but also meet the user within the allocated budget. I consider this book a key to get in the HVAC industry and a reference for HVAC study courses.
