The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (A

SHRAE) has four handbooks: Fundamentals, Refrigeration, HVAC Systems & Equipment
, and HVAC Applications. One handbook is published each year, replacing the old
est handbook edition (i.e. 2008 replaces 2004 this year).
This is ASHRAE's 2008 handbook (HVAC Systems & Equipment). The print versions o
f these handbooks are available in either IP or SI units. The last couple years
a CD had been included when you buy the print version, which includes both IP a
nd SI units, and everything covered in the print version, in searchable pdfs. T
his is an ISO image of that CD.
