Entry Level HVAC Job
(OP)
Hello,
I am a recent ME grad who just got a job with a small HVAC firm. I do not have any HVAC experience and took no courses in school (besides Heat transfer, Thermo, etc.) The firm I work at only employs one other engineer (also fresh out of school), while everyone else has been in the industry for many years. The current method of design is the guess and check method or they just know it will work since they have done it for so long. I am looking for some good resources on the engineering side of HVAC, such as component selection, calculations, programming, etc. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

These are primarily used to obtain continuing education credits for a PE at cost (to take the quiz), but you can download the course material after you register (for free) in .pdf format for free.
Both sites have extensive HVAC materials that you could benefit from.

In addition to the ASHRAE hand books, see if your company is a member of SMACNA and get their handbooks.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
