This book fills a gap that I first noticed when beginning practice as an HVAC engineer thirty years ago.  There was no comprehensive manual explaining how to go about designing HVAC for a commercial or institutional building such as an office, a church, or a school.  I was not working for a consulting firm, so had no senior experienced engineers to guide me.  I had to learn from the architects, contractors, and engineers of other disciplines by observing and asking questions.  In this book you will find what I learned in those years as it applies to the small projects most likely to be fulfilled by independent designers working out of small one or two person offices.
