RE: Advice on must have codes, manuals, etc for HVAC

Mechanical code enforced in your area, ASHRAE 62, ASHRAE HOF,lots of hard knocks

Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.

RE: Advice on must have codes, manuals, etc for HVAC

Just glancing at my bookshelf the HVAC books I use: ASHRAE Fundamentals (Applications, Systems and Refrigeration), ASHRAE 62, ASHRAE 55, ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 15, ASHRAE 135 Building Code, Natural Gas Code, Manual of Industrial Ventilation, Mark's Mechanical, Cameron Hydraulic Data, Pipefitter's manual, SMACNA design guides, Carrier System Design Binder, B&G Engineering Design Binder, HVAC Equations, Data and Rules of Thumb.

I've also got a stack of plumbing and fire protection books... but I like books.

RE: Advice on must have codes, manuals, etc for HVAC

I got the B&G Design Binder from filling out a request form on their webpage and then talking to my rep.

I inherited the Carrier design binder from an retiring engineer.

RE: Advice on must have codes, manuals, etc for HVAC

My carrier binder was a victim of storm surge.

Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.
