Basic Design Manuals
(OP)
Hey everyone. My firm has been using our own in-house spreadsheets and design manuals to calculate all HVAC related issues (piping loss, duct size, pump heads, piping sizes, room loads, etc). I'm wondering, with the hundreds of large engineering firms out there if there has been a manual compiled that deals will all of these issues from a design and calculation standpoint. Basically, do you all have a main reference source or are you using different design manuals for each issue like we are (Trane's Trace for loads calcs, ASHRAE and Cameron Hydraulic books for piping issues, etc). Thanks in advance.

We use spreadsheet for duct total pressure calcs (based on SMACNA). We also use spreadsheet for piping loss ^ pump head (based on Cameron Hydraulic Data (minimum 15% safety on piping loss recommended for aging).
