First book to consider HVAC control in analytical depth Covers all new developments in HVAC control systems Looks at systems both in the UK and abroad Considers cutting edge technology and topics such as fuzzy logic

Published since 1895, ASHRAE Transactions is the official record of research and technical information of permanent interest and archival value presented at ASHRAE's Annual and Winter Conferences, the world's foremost forums for the presentation of research and application data and experience in the fields of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration and the field of building technology in general.ASHRAE Transactions papers are reviewed by competent specialists to ensure high quality of content. They undergo one or more double-blind reviews by three or more reviewers, and they are published with discussion questions and answers. They encompass the wide range of technologies and applications of interest to researchers and practitioners whose work shapes the built environment.

Buildings account for almost half of total primary energy use and related greenhouse emissions worldwide. Although current energy systems are improving, they still fall disappointingly short of meeting acceptable limits for efficiency. Well-trained energy auditors are essential to the success of building energy efficiency programs-and Energy Audit

This book presents new research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. It includes heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimisation; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; decision sciences in an industrial and manufacturing context; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.

HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR CONDITIONING Completely revised with the latest HVAC design practices! Based on the most recent standards from ASHRAE, this 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. Throughout the text, numerous worked examples clearly show you how to apply the concepts in realistic scenarios. In addition, several computer programs (several new to this edition) help you understand key concepts and allow you to simulate various scenarios, such as psychometrics and air quality, load calculations, piping system design, duct system design, and cooling coil simulation. Additionally, the load calculation program has been revised and updated. These computer programs are available at the book’s website: www.wiley.com/college/mcquiston Key Features of the Sixth Edition Additional new worked examples in the text and on the accompanying software. Chapters 6-9 have been extensively revised for clarity and ease of use. Chapter 8, The Cooling Load, now includes two approaches: the heat balance method, as recommended by ASHRAE, and the simpler RTS method. Both approaches include computer applications to aid in calculations. Provides complete, authoritative treatment of all aspects of HVAC, based on current ASHRAE standards. Numerous worked examples and homework problems provide realistic scenarios to apply concepts.
