 HVAC Systems Design Handbook ReviewApr 17, 2000
As a newcomer to the HVAC industry I found the book to very informative...it was presented in such a way, however, that makes it very hard to read. SMACNA puts out a few manuals that are less "dry" and a lot easier to read. I would recommend that anyone who is interested in this publication to have some general knowledge of the HVAC industry in order to make understanding this book easier.

DisapointmentApr 24, 2000
This book is aimed at the engineering design professional but I found it to be a major disapointment. There are a number of good texts available on this subject but this one, like so many of Roger Haines' other books, is a superficial overview with little if any practical information.

Not as expected.Jun 26, 2003
By Hubert M.
I found this book informative rather than practical as implemented by publisher to be a working tool primarily for desingers. People with basic knowlege of HVAC might enjoy reading this book to get some general but not in-depth engineering knowlege of HVAC systems, but there is not much for designers who need analytical information and knowledge of calculation procedures.
 this book is not good for refrigeration EngineerSep 01, 2011
By Hui Wei
I bought this HVAC system Design handbook, but I think this is not fit for me, it did not introduce the AC part and air conditioner system design in this book, should be improve in the future.
Not practical, theoretical instead.Apr 12, 2011
By What Now
It does contain some helpful ASHRAE tables, but it is not very practical. It is a theoretical explanation of HVAC engineering principles rather than a practical HVAC design guide. If you want a theoretical book, then this is a good one.
