The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE) has four handbooks: Fundamentals, Refrigeration, HVAC Systems & Equipment,
and HVAC Applications. One handbook is published each year, replacing the oldest
handbook edition (i.e. 2008 replaces 2004 this year).

This is ASHRAE's 2008 handbook (HVAC Systems & Equipment). The print versions of
these handbooks are available in either IP or SI units. The last couple years a CD
had been included when you buy the print version, which includes both IP and SI
units, and everything covered in the print version, in searchable pdfs. This is an
ISO image of that CD.
