ASHRAE Handbook

This Handbook is considered the most comprehensive and authoritative repository of practical knowledge on the various topics that form the field of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R).

Members of ASHRAE receive the current volume, in both print and CD-ROM form, each year as a basic membership benefit.

In 1973 it became the ASHRAE Handbook, and in 1985 separate publication of inch-pound (I-P) and international system (SI) units versions of the volumes began.

The current publisher of record is W. Stephen Comstock, and the Editor is Mark S. Owen.

For example, members of the Society's Handbook Committee and the College of Fellows[7] review chapters each year.
