FUNDAMENTALS OF HEATING, COOLING, AND LIGHTING NEW EDITION

Master the essential principles behind modern building comfort, HVAC, ventilation, energy efficiency, and lighting systems.

How do heating, cooling, ventilation, controls, and lighting work together to create comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient buildings?

FUNDAMENTALS OF HEATING, COOLING, AND LIGHTING NEW EDITION provides a practical introduction to the engineering principles and design methods used in modern building environmental systems. It takes readers from fundamental concepts to practical calculations and whole-building system integration.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Heat transfer, thermal resistance, conduction, convection, and radiation
• Psychrometrics, humidity control, and thermal comfort
• Heating and cooling load calculations
• Furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, radiant heating, and refrigeration systems
• Air distribution, ductwork, fans, hydronic piping, and system balancing
• Indoor air quality, ventilation, filtration, and demand-controlled ventilation
• HVAC controls, building automation, sensors, actuators, and PID control
• Energy efficiency, building codes, equipment efficiency, and energy modeling
• Fundamentals of light, human vision, photometric quantities, and light sources
• Lighting calculations, luminaires, daylighting, glare control, and lighting controls
• Whole-building energy analysis, life-cycle cost, carbon emissions, and integrated design

The book also includes worked examples, practice problems, answer keys, chapter summaries, and practical design considerations to help readers move beyond theory and develop a stronger understanding of real-world building systems.

Whether you are an engineering student, HVAC learner, building-services professional, technician, designer, facility professional, or simply seeking a comprehensive foundation in building environmental systems, this book provides a structured path from the fundamentals to integrated building design.

Build your knowledge. Understand the systems. Design with greater confidence.
