They play a critical role in delivering conditioned air, maintaining indoor air quality, controlling humidity, and ensuring thermal comfort in buildings ranging from commercial offices and hospitals to laboratories, data centers, and industrial facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs buildings become more energy-conscious and technologically advanced, the design and operation of air handling units have evolved significantly. Today's AHUs incorporate advanced filtration systems, variable speed fans, smart sensors, energy recovery technologies, and sophisticated control strategies integrated with \u003cb\u003eBuilding Management Systems\u003c\/b\u003e. These innovations not only improve indoor environmental quality but also support global efforts toward sustainability and energy efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to provide a clear and practical guide to the \u003cb\u003edesign, operation, maintenance, and sustainability considerations of air handling units\u003c\/b\u003e. It is written for engineers, technicians, facility managers, students, and professionals involved in HVAC design, installation, and building operations. The book explains both the fundamental principles and the practical aspects of AHU systems, enabling readers to better understand how these systems function and how they can be optimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cb\u003esecond edition\u003c\/b\u003e expands upon the original work by incorporating updated information on energy-efficient technologies, smart HVAC controls, advanced filtration methods, and sustainability practices. Additional sections discuss commissioning procedures, troubleshooting techniques, and emerging trends in AHU technology, helping readers stay aligned with the evolving demands of modern building systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this book, emphasis is placed on practical knowledge-how AHUs are selected, installed, operated, and maintained in real-world applications. Case studies and real-life examples illustrate how thoughtful engineering decisions can significantly improve system performance, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HVAC industry continues to evolve rapidly as buildings move toward higher efficiency, smarter controls, and reduced environmental impact. By understanding the principles and technologies presented in this book, professionals can design and operate air handling systems that meet both current performance standards and future sustainability goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hope this book serves as a valuable resource for those involved in the design, operation, and improvement of HVAC systems worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Nehme\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHVAC Engineer and Author\u003cbr\u003eCFN-HVAC Knowledge Services\u003cbr\u003ehttps: \/\/bit.ly\/m\/HVAC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Nehme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798251766417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Charles Nehme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588454691071,"sku":"9798251766417","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/air-handling-units-charles-nehme-9798251766417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
