ASHRAE F25-2009 (SI)

Proper design of space heating, cooling, and air conditioning requires detailed knowledge of the building envelopes overall heat, air, and moisture control performance. This chapter provides guidance in the analysis and design of building envelope assemblies for good heat, air, and moisture control performance. Guidance for designing mechanical systems is found in other chapters of the ASHRAE Handbook series. This chapter discusses the fundamentals of combined heat, air, and moisture movement as it relates to envelope assemblies.
