This book presents engineers with solutions to the problems found in control applications in the commercial HVAC buildings industry. Using their experience to take readers beyond textbook principles, the authors offer suggestions for troubleshooting not found in any other book. Divided into two sections, HVAC Controls and Systems covers all aspects of commercial controls, including pneumatic, electric, and electronic controls. The first section discusses the hardware of the controls industry: thermostats and humidistats, dampers and damper motors, automatic valves, transmitters, auxiliary devices, construction systems and devices, and electronic products. The second section covers applications of the hardware for air handling unit systems, terminal systems and units, primary systems, heat pump cycles, distribution systems, supervisory systems, maintenance and operations, and total facility approach.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HVAC Controls and Systems (Hardcover)
This book is a high level overview and is not very practical when it comes to assisting the engineer to design and specify HVAC Control Systems.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HVAC Controls and Systems (Hardcover)
Book is useful but kind of old so it does not cover much of the new stuff mainly pneumatics. Still helpful and still covers BAS controls etc.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive and coherent HVAC primer,
By matthew (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HVAC Controls and Systems (Hardcover)
Written by talented engineers but also accessible to the technician and layman. The concepts presented are the frame-work for conservation strategies once motivated by economy and now more relevant than ever in a greener marketplace. This book is informative and well structured to serve as textbook for HVAC education and reference for practical application.
