HVAC books
(OP)
Can anyone recommend any worthwhile books and/or handbooks on HVAC system design (covering things like duct design, cooling load considerations, pipe sizing, etc..., etc...)?
I'm just starting to work as an HVAC design engineer for a consulting engineering firm, although I have been in the industry for about 9 years. Until now, I have mostly worked for controls contractors and HVAC equipment manufacturers- mostly on the engineering side of things.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

You may also want to check out "HVAC Simplified", by Kavanaugh. It provides a good overview of the basics AND comes with a CD containing of functional spreadsheets.
It is available through the ASHRAE website.
