ASHRAE Journal - February 2009 - (Page A2) New from ASHRAE The ASHRAE Guide for Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates, 2nd ed., Harriman, Lstiburek Expanded! Energy Efficiency Load Calculation Applications Manual, Spitler Standard 90.1-2007 User’s Manual Whether you’re a new engineer learning to do load calculations or a veteran wanting to learn the radiant time series method (RTSM), this manual is a must-have resource. The Load Calculation Applications Manual provides you with the very latest information on load calculations. Beginning with an overview of the heat transfer processes present in buildings, it also discusses their co-analysis to determine the cooling load. The theory and application of the RTSM, systems and psychrometrics, heating load calculations, and the HBM and its implementation are covered as well. The enclosed CD contains Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets for computing cooling loads using the RTSM. These spreadsheets calculate the solar irradiation, conduction time factor series, and radiant time factors utilized by the method. Plus, you can adapt the spreadsheets to compute cooling loads for a wide range of buildings! I-P units; Hardcover; 8 ½ x 11 in; 342 pp; 2008; ASHRAE Price: $119 (ASHRAE Member: $97; Student Member: $49) Product Code: 90399 ISBN: 978-1-933742-42-7 Triple the size of the first edition, this guide includes: • Six chapters on critical, crosscutting issues for architecture, engineering, and building management • Eleven chapters of detailed and practical solutions to everyday problems: dehumidification, sustainability, mold avoidance, energy reduction, and much more • A tight focus on the needs of owners, architects, and engineers who build and manage buildings in hot and humid climates Based on real-world field experience and recent ASHRAE research, this text provides a richly illustrated summary of the state-of-the-art in building science, moisture management, and techniques for reducing energy consumption. It includes measurements in both I-P and SI units. Note: if you purchased the first edition, you can receive 20% off the purchase of this edition!
