The book does not live up to expectations. Yes it does have a variety of info but it is poorly edited. You have to search for many of the non-std abrieviations. Many of the tables could have been far more useful if their content was expanded. Little backup explanation is offered. Units are not rigidly adhered to. Publishing quality is one step above a Xerox copier. Overall, not a complete waste of money but also not all it could be.

This book did not live up to my expectations, yet over the years I have used it on occasion. Typically, for conversions, steam tables, general rules of thumb. If you have studied for the PE exam, you probably have most of what this book has to offer.

I am a recent grad and working in a engineering firm where I am constantly looking for rules of thumb, helpful design guidelines, and data pertaining to my projects. This book offers a wealth of hvac information that is organized and extremely valuable for entry hvac engineers.

This is a handy desktop information tool. I use it frequently while designing HVAC and other mechanical systems.

This book is filled with alot of information that will come in handy for an entry level HVAC designer because it contains all sorts of fundamental equations as well as rules of thumbs that the industry uses. It's also great when you're not sure of something and it's there for a quick look up. The book is nicely laid out for convience.

In my opinion it's a good book for aquiring knowledge about the Design, Common Systems, codes.... For students as well as for designers also it's helpful for adopting the systems and requirements in the fast growing world.

I was very disappointed to get this book.
I've gone through it and found it is a book of waste money and time. It is hard for me to get this book returned to get my money back because I am in Australia but I'll try.
If you like HVAC, go try other books, not this one.
