HVAC Design Guide for Tall Commercial Buildings

Tall commercial office buildings present a series of design problems that differ from those that are found in other projects in the built environment. HVAC Design Guide for Tall Commercial Buildings provides guidance in both understanding the HVAC design problems of tall commercial office buildings and in detailing their alternative solutions.

This book is of interest to owners, architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other specialized engineers and consultants. The design guide is focused on the efforts of designers of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, but it also addresses the importance of the design team and their collective efforts and concerns that are the critical elements in determining the ultimate solutions to project needs.

The ASHRAE Technical Committee for Tall Buildings, TC 9.12, has defined a tall building as one whose height is greater than 300 feet (91m).

This Guide addresses HVAC design issues for tall commercial office buildings, but the matters discussed and the recommendations and comments that are developed, with various modifications, can be applied to other project types within the built environment. 8 1/2 x 11; soft cover; ASHRAE Research Project 1261.
