Its five major sections – “Basics,” “Humidity Effects,” “System Design,” “Equipment & Controls,” and “Applications” – are complete with fullcolor charts, diagrams and illustrations. Providing a solid humidity control background, including a review of its causes and effects, the text also looks at the humidity control roles of various people involved in building design and operation. It spotlights 15 types of equipment related to humidity control design, 13 different types of buildings, and has 25 pages of weather data. Its reference section has dehumidification equations, conversion tables and factors, and a pyschrometric chart. Dual units; Hardcover; 11 x 9 in; 512 pp; 2nd ed.; 2001; ASHRAE Price: $136.00 (ASHRAE Member: $116.00) Product Code: 90421 ISBN: 978-1-883413-98-2 Related Resources For engineers, architects, contractors, and other building industry professionals who have little or no experience with acoustical terms or concepts. This book presents practical design guidelines supplementing information found in the Sound and Vibration chapters of the ASHRAE Handbook and includes information for developing system designs minimizing the possibility of excessive HVAC system noise and vibration in and around buildings. The text explains how to conduct troubleshooting investigations to resolve noise and vibration problems. Extensively revised, it highlights the acoustical features of a wide range of HVAC system components, is up to date on new noise and vibration control products, and discusses new strategies for selecting equipment and designing systems.
