Sorry! The book is no longer available for download. I have placed it on Amazon under a new name HVAC Design From Clean Sheet to Blueprint. A few chapters can still be downloaded from my web site. Also, you can browse the book using the "Search Inside" feature on Amazon.

I retired from my day job as a practicing HVAC mechanical engineer in 2003. Since then I have done free lance design of small commercial and institutional HVAC systems, and in my spare time, I have written a book to allow others to take advantage of my 30 years design and operational experience.

The original title was HVAC Design Manual – A Mechanical Designer’s Guide to Design of Small Commercial and Institutional HVAC Systems. Visit my web site www.nettally.com/doughert (http://www.nettally.com/doughert) to check out the introduction and my resume, and download the Table of Contents or select chapters. Also available for free download is my air conditioning duct design spread sheet which was presented in the ASHRAE Journal in 2009.

iUniverse, or some of the other 'self-publishing' houses could probably do an excellent job for you.

Thanks for sharing your book, I'll read & return comments.

I'm checking now, but others have evidently not had this problem. Check with your internet service - this is a very large file - nearly 5 MB - and it may exceed a limit imposed by your service.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was not aware that e-bay offered such a service, and will check it out.

This is a very large file, 4.7 MB, so stuff happens if you have dial-up vs broadband. I have dial-up, and downloaded it two ways, first as a save to a folder on my hard drive, then just to open. It takes a good 20 minutes with 57K dial-upThe first try failed! Then I opened it OK. Then I tried again to save it using the right-click, and it came through OK on the second try. So unless you have a limited allowable storage with your ISP, you may have to try several times before you get a clear circuit from the U.S. to India.
