This fifth edition has been updated to include developments since the previous edition, which is particularly necessary since some refrigerants are being phased out and environmentally-friendly ones introduced. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is an important postgraduate subject area in building engineering and architecture, and this text aims to be of use to both students and professionals wishing to update their knowledge. The book also includes examples, exercises and bibliographies enabling the reader to expand their knowledge through additional research, and new to this edition are the references to the southern hemisphere and the tropics, and research on building energy management systems and natural ventilation.
