3HVAC Equations, Data, and Rules of Thumb  Dec 15, 2002
The book does not live up to expectations. Yes it does have a variety of info but it is poorly edited. You have to search for many of the non-std abrieviations. Many of the tables could have been far more useful if their content was expanded. Little backup explanation is offered. Units are not rigidly adhered to. Publishing quality is one step above a Xerox copier. Overall, not a complete waste of money but also not all it could be.

3unorganized but occasionally useful  Mar 04, 2005 By mech engineer
This book did not live up to my expectations, yet over the years I have used it on occasion. Typically, for conversions, steam tables, general rules of thumb. If you have studied for the PE exam, you probably have most of what this book has to offer.

5Great HVAC Rule of Thumbs!!!  Jan 12, 2007 By A sure one
This book is filled with alot of information that will come in handy for an entry level HVAC designer because it contains all sorts of fundamental equations as well as rules of thumbs that the industry uses. It's also great when you're not sure of something and it's there for a quick look up. The book is nicely laid out for convience.
