Andrew,
Would you be comfortable recommending "Structural Design for Dummies"? Since you said you were in project management I assume you are looking for some understanding of HVAC systems and how they work, so you don't feel quite so over-your-head on a construction site. ASHRAE is the best source for reference books. One easy to read introductory book is " Air-conditioning Systems Design Manual" Published by ASHRAE 212PP $79.00 non member. It has some good "Rules-of-Thumb" for reality checking purposes. But just as with structural design, HVAC design is best left to people with experiance. There are already far too many poorly designed systems around.
