In many climates buildings are unable to provide comfortable conditions without the benefit of a heating system, and most hvac engineers will be routinely involved with issues concerning the design, installation and performance of such systems.

Furthermore, in temperate climates, heating of buildings accounts for a large slice of annual carbon emissions. The design of heating systems for maximum efficiency and minimum carbon emission is therefore now a matter of prime concern to all hvac engineers.

Heating systems: plant and control provides an up-to-date review of the design, engineering and control of modern heating systems. Part A deals with heat generating plant, concentrating on conventional and condensing boilers, small scale chp systems and heat pumps. Part B covers heat emitters, pipe circuits and variable speed pumping, hot water service, optimum plant size and plant and systems control, including sequence control of multiple boilers. Techniques for managing the energy use and running costs of heating systems are also discussed. Heating systems: plant and control (ISBN 0 632 05937 0) is published by Blackwell and costs £55.00.
