Building Systems Analysis and Retrofit Manual

The second edition of the Building Systems Analysis and Retrofit manual provides methods to assess the major energy using elements of an existing building—electrical (lighting and motors) and HVAC. It provides a process that begins with a walk-through audit. Methods discussed include using building systems automation, envelope improvements, and demand control strategies including thermal energy storage. Contractors interested in new opportunities will find market entry guidance and ideas to assist them in the development of new business strategies that target the renovation of existing buildings. Existing buildings are often located near public transportation and development typically occurs on a building’s existing footprint. These two “green” drivers may combine with basic economic factors to produce a compelling incentive for many prospective building owners to choose renovation of an existing building over the construction of new facilities.

Seismic Restraint Manual Guidelines for Mechanical - OSHPD

This special edition of the SMACNA Seismic Restraint Manual • OSHPD Edition has been developed to meet the specific requirements of the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for hospital and health care facilities construction. The seismic hazard tables with this special edition are limited to the SHL A (g = 0.67) and SHL AA (g = 1.0) applicable to the hospital and health care facilities outlined in the use of the manual. The manual is not intended to cover the ordinary supports for ducts and pipes required for gravity loads. The only restraints shown in the tables and figures are those needed to provide the extra support for seismic loads.

Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards - Metric

This version of the Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards, 2nd edition (2007) is uniquely identified as the SI version (Metric • le Système International d’Unités) to differentiate it from the version published in 2004 as the I-P version (Inch Pound). This latest publication is based on the exact same theoretical work and scope of the earlier I-P version. What differs greatly between the two publications is that in the SI version the data is expressed in metric units and the ratings are based on the use of materials produced under and to ISO standards, in both strength and physical dimensions (we refer to this methodology as Hard Metric). This characteristic makes the information directly usable in the international market.
