Principles of Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning by Ronald H. Howell, A Textbook with Design Data Based on the 2013 ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals. Book provides an attractive text for air-conditioning courses at engineering colleges and technical institutes. The text has been developed to give broad and current coverage of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning field. It is a reference book for undergraduate engineering courses in the general field of HVAC, similar courses at technical institutes, continuing education and refresher short courses for engineers, and adult education courses for non-engineers. It contains more material than can normally be covered in a one-semester course.
