Commercial Design Manual Applications Systems and Equipment - This manual focuses on the methods and procedures that should be used to design small commercial HVAC systems.

You can apply the Manual D procedure to constant volume systems and zoned variable air volume systems, over a full range of duct construction materials.

**Special Order** Manual H gives you a one-stop reference on residential and small commercial heat pump systems - basic principles, equipment, installation, operation, applications and system design - with a wealth of step-by-step examples and design calculations

Manual J 8th Edition is the national ANSI recognized standard for producing HVAC equipment sizing loads for single-family detached homes, small multi-unit structures, condominiums, town houses, and manufactured homes. A proper load calculation, performed in accordance with the Manual J 8th Edition procedure, is required by national building codes and most state and local jurisdictions.

MJ8AE, an abridged version of the Eighth Edition of Manual J, provides complete instructions for estimating heat loss and heat gain for residential structures. MJ8AE is sufficient for learning the Manual J procedures and for undertaking hand calculations on a varied number of home applications.

The New Fifth Edition of Manual N® details the load calculation procedure that addresses the advances in the commercial construction industry: new materials, methods of assembly, and operational requirements

**Special Order** Manual P shows you how to use the psychrometric chart to map any type of heating and cooling process, and how to use these maps to calculate heating, cooling, humidification, and loads. Includes sample problems and solutions for sensible heating and sensible cooling processes, humidification and dehumidification processes, room-sensible heat ratio and coil-sensible heat ratio.

Manual Q is your one-stop reference book on the low-pressure, low-velocity systems used in small and mid-size commercial buildings. Manual Q gives you time-saving quick fitting loss tables and a complete set of fitting loss tables compiled from the ASHRAE and SMACNA handbooks.
