Secrets of HVAC Design: Techniques Rarely Taught: Secrets of HVAC Design: Techniques Rarely Taught

This book is for engineers, contractors, project managers, and HVAC enthusiasts who want to go beyond the ordinary. It’s for those who have ever stood on-site staring at a system that “meets spec” but still doesn’t work quite right—or wondered why the energy bills stay high even after a system upgrade. It’s for those who suspect that something’s missing from the textbooks.

What follows isn’t theory—it’s the field-tested know-how that separates good designs from great ones. You’ll learn the clever tricks, subtle adjustments, and decision-making frameworks that senior engineers use to solve the problems others miss. From airflow mysteries to chiller sequencing, from psychrometric subtleties to real-world control logic, these are the lessons that make the difference.

Whether you’re designing your first commercial system or auditing your fiftieth high-rise, this guide will uncover the insights that rarely get discussed—but always make an impact.

Welcome to the side of HVAC design they don’t teach in school.
