The 2007 ASHR4E Handbook-HVAC Applications covers a broad range of facilities and topics, and is written to help engineers design and use equipment and systems described in other Hand- book volumes. ASHAE Technical Committees have revised nearly every chapter for current requirements and techniques. An accompanying CD-ROM contains all the volume's chapters in both This edition includes three new chapters, described as follows: I-P and SI units. Chapter 56, Room Air Distribution, intended to help HVAC designers apply air distribution systems to occupied spaces, has information on air distribution strategies, and tools and guidelines for applications and system design. Chapter 57, Integrated Building Design, describes this process and the activities that support collaboration among design participants, and identifies major milestones for project delivery. Chapter 58, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Explosive Incidents, describes these types of events, their effects on buildings, occupants, and equipment, and offers general guidelines on how to deal with them. Some of the revisions and additions to the remainder of the volume are as follows: Chapter 6, Educational Facilities, rewritten and expanded, now has comprehensive design criteria for preschools through universities, plus detailed content on applying dedicated outside air systems (DOAS), displacement ventilation, and other strategies. Chapter 7 , Health Care Facilities, updated throughout for current guidelines and standards, has new content on pharmacies, including sterile compounding areas. Chapter 8, Justice Facilities, has new sections on jails, prisons, family courts, courthouses, and forensic labs.
