HVAC Systems Design Handbook Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hvac Systems Design Handbook (Hardcover)
As a newcomer to the HVAC industry I found the book to very informative...it was presented in such a way, however, that makes it very hard to read. SMACNA puts out a few manuals that are less "dry" and a lot easier to read. I would recommend that anyone who is interested in this publication to have some general knowledge of the HVAC industry in order to make understanding this book easier.

Disapointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hvac Systems Design Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is aimed at the engineering design professional but I found it to be a major disapointment. There are a number of good texts available on this subject but this one, like so many of Roger Haines' other books, is a superficial overview with little if any practical information.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not as expected.,
This review is from: HVAC Systems Design Handbook (Hardcover)
I found this book informative rather than practical as implemented by publisher to be a working tool primarily for desingers. People with basic knowlege of HVAC might enjoy reading this book to get some general but not in-depth engineering knowlege of HVAC systems, but there is not much for designers who need analytical information and knowledge of calculation procedures.
