Sources for HVAC Information

Question

“Is there a specific resource provided or that you'd recommend for calculating the inside/outside bulb and humidity levels for our assigned buildings? Or are we free to use our own initiative in finding a means of obtaining this data?”

Response

For outside ASHRAE or your HVAC textbook is the best source. For inside you may use your judgment.

Welcome to AE-391

We’re continuing what we began in the fall, but now we’re designing instead of analyzing and selecting.

I advise you to review the work for the term soon.  You’ll see that the teamwork assignments are complex in order to maximize your chance of working on different buildings and systems with differing partners.

In the first class we’ll begin as an owner does, deciding what goes into a building – Architectural Programming.
