Seminar 47 -- Building Envelopes for Mechanical Engineers: It’s All in the Handbooks! PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

The complexity of modern building envelopes makes it increasingly difficult for mechanical designers to accurately calculate heating, cooling, and moisture loads. Fortunately, the ASHRAE Handbooks contain a wealth of information on modern building envelopes, including details and constructions, material properties, and calculation methods. This presentation covers the basics of building envelopes in the Handbooks, calculation methods and analytical techniques, and typical details and systems as they pertain to the mechanical engineering practice.
