Heat Pumps / HVAC Applications
Commercial/Institutional
Ground-Source Heat Pump Engineering Manual, The American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc; 1995
This book is a very detailed design guide for ground-source
heat pumps. It details site
requirements, the different types of GSHP systems, system design, and system
installation. It is published by ASHRAE,
which is the organization that governs many standards for HVAC and Heat Pump
design.
Mechanical and Electrical
Equipment for Buildings, 9th edition;
Benjamin Stein and John S. Reynolds. John Wiley & Sons, Inc; 2000
This book is a text that we have used in numerous
classes, and has just about everything pertaining to mechanical and electrical
systems for buildings. It has 10 pages
regarding heat pumps, and about 50 pages on day
lighting.
Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning,
Analysis and Design, 5th edition; Faye C. McQuiston,
Jerald D. Parker, Jeffery D. Spitler. John
Wiley & Sons, Inc; 2000
Again, a text that we’ve used in numerous classes;
it has a couple pages dedicated to heat pump systems, but it has numerous good
rules of design for the entire HVAC system throughout the book.
ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals; The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc; 2001
ASHRAE publishes a 4-year rotating handbook series
that sets standards and guidelines for HVAC systems. These four volumes are Fundamentals,
Systems, Applications,
and Refrigeration.
ASHRAE Handbook of Systems; The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc; 2000
ASHRAE Handbook of Applications; The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc; 2003
Ground Water for Air-Conditioning in
This publication is a good reference to designing
heat-pump systems in
Daylighting
Daylighting; Performance and Design, 2nd edition; Gregg D. Ander. John
Wiley & Sons, Inc; 2003
This book is all about the need for, and
implications of Daylighting in buildings. It was recommended to me by Dr. Moses Ling.
Steel Design
American Institute of Steel Construction, Manual of
Steel Construction, 3rd Edition, American Institute of Steel Construction,
Inc., 2001
A manual for steel construction and
connections under the Load and Resistance Factor Design method.
