The ASHRAE Handbook is the global benchmark for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Engineers, architects, and building professionals rely on these volumes to design safe, efficient, and compliant indoor environments.
Updated guidance on air change rates, pressure relationships, and pathogen control in hospitals. : ASHRAE members who select the "Handbook PDF"
A key advantage of the series is that each volume is updated in rotation. As of 2023, the HVAC Applications is the most current in the cycle, as the 2020, 2021, and 2022 volumes are still considered valid and current.
Need help finding a specific table or figure from the 2023 edition? Ask your local engineering librarian or an ASHRAE chapter member – many are happy to help. | | ENERGY-RELATED APPLICATIONS | Ground-Source Heat Pumps
With cities enforcing stricter carbon caps on buildings, the 2023 handbook expands its guidance on building electrification. This includes optimized design paths for commercial heat pump systems, heat recovery chillers, and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel combustion for space and water heating.
