I don't know if this helps: I was looking for something else.

ASHRAE publishes a multi-volume guide that will take you through the entire process, step by step...

1) should you be doing this scope of work? or get some professional help 2) There are new technology which uses NO Freon, and less than half the normal energy yet with the same output ie. your building needs 5 tons of AC or Heat, these unit put out 5 tons, yet are so efficient, use less than half the normal energy. Most of these have come down in cost to be at or nearly the same as common Freon units from Carrier or Trane. If you are interested I have most of their information, just finished an installation and the small grocery store is using less than 15% of the electricity they were using. 3) Now professional do multiple smaller units verse one large one, more efficient and the cost can be nearly the same, with more control and easier to run efficiently.

Oje,

As you can see from the previous posts, there are a lot of unknowns in your question. Before seeking help you need to answer several questions. First, I believe, is this. Is this a real project that you have been assigned by your boss, or is this a homework project and you are just looking for a reference point to start? Certainly two totally different perspectives. Certainly your "building" must be designed for its intended purpose (industrial manufacturing, office, residential, etc.) and then the HVAC requirements determined based on that scope. You cannot design the HVAC system first without knowning what it needs to do. When you can answer the first question above, then perhaps you can move forward with the assistance of CR4 or your other associates, as needed.

Your question is very general. Assuming you have a good back ground on thermodynamics and heat transfer, psyhrometry you can take carrier habd book and do design works for simple applications and chek it with the HVAC expert before you implment it. You can ptogress furhter by doing few more HVAC systemd for different applications.

Ok,I'll make you a deal:

Tell me how to design a rocket that will safely take me to the moon and back, and I'll tell you how to design a building using HVAC.

See how broad the question is?

Thanks everyone, sorry for late reply i lost my account and have it back again. More power.
