Heating and Ventilation Systems

For people to feel comfortable in their environments, they want thermal comfort to be provided. The factors that most affect thermal comfort are air temperature and humidity, the amount of fresh air, surface temperatures, and the air velocity in the indoor environment.

The subject of heating and ventilation examines the air temperature, the amount of fresh air, the surface temperatures, and the air velocity in the environment to be at desired values among these factors. Cooling and air conditioning, the other two important topics of thermal comfort, have been excluded from the scope of this book. The main purpose of this book is to provide the basic information, calculations, and basic installation layouts required for heating systems and ventilation. The book consists of 7 chapters.

This book primarily covers the basic topics and fundamental calculation methods of heating system and ventilation techniques. Detailed information related to manufacturing has been partially included.
