Page v Dedication This book is dedicated to Mr. Harold Gorman, PE the man who taught me how to think like an engineer. For me, he is truly "the leader of the band".

Page ix Preface to the Second Edition This second edition includes the addition of a chapter for HVAC calculations. I did not include this chapter in the first edition because HVAC design and retrofit analyses are generally complicated matters. Since I have been asked to explain my HVAC methods many times, I have endeavored to do so, now, in this book. In truth, most of the time I am not allowed to stop where I have stopped in this book. In this current world of Performance Contracting and the subsequent savings guarantees I am required to include more detailed analysis of latent savings, programmed time-of-day control, outside air reset models, etc. While these all start with the same basic equations, the applications cannot truly be called "Simple Solutions".
