SPITLER, JEFFREY D.
Spitler (building and environmental thermal systems, Oklahoma State U.) offers the fourth in a series of load calculation manuals from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. This, the SI edition, is intended to be more applications-oriented, and includes extensive step-by-step examples for the radiant time series method of determining cooling loads in nonresidential buildings. The heat balance method also is included. Specific topics include: fundamentals of heat transfer and thermodynamics, internal heat gain, heating load calculations, solar radiation and heat gain, treatment of thermal bridges, and treatment of uncontrolled spaces. A CD-ROM with spreadsheets is included. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
´Focuses on the radiant time series and heat balance methods for calculating cooling loads in nonresidential buildings. The intended audience is relatively new engineers who are learning to do load calculations, as well as experienced engineers who wish to learn the radiant time series method´--Provided by publisher.
