The book is titled The 2009 ASHRAE Handbook – Fundamentals and covers basic principles and provides essential data for HVAC&R design. In all, the Fundamentals volume includes more than 1,000 pages and 39 chapters on a variety of HVAC&R topics, covering general engineering information, basic materials, load and energy calculations and duct and pipe design.

“HVAC&R engineering design on projects concerned with performance and sustainability requires understanding of more than just HVAC&R,” said Dave Grumman, who oversaw writing of the chapter on behalf of ASHRAE’s technical committee on building environmental impacts and sustainability. “Engineers must consider projected energy and water demands, storm water runoff generation, and waste generation and air quality impacts. The guidance in this new chapter will assist engineers as they strive for overall sustainability in buildings.”

The 2009 ASHRAE Handbook is published in two editions. One contains inch-pound (I-P) units of measurement, and the other contains the International System of Units (SI).The cost of the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook – Fundamentals, which includes the CD is $195, in I-P or SI. The 2009 ASHRAE Handbook CD, which contains both the I-P and SI editions, costs $155.
