By Joseph Lstiburek and John Carmody. Moisture control is essential to designing energy efficient, healthy buildings. Uncontrolled moisture in a building envelope rapidly degrades structural materials and insulation.

This guide is intended for architects, mechanical engineers, building science researchers, building product manufacturers and home owners to help evaluate, design and retrofit HVAC systems for better moisture removal and control.

By Joseph Lstiburek. Controlling rain and ground water are the single most important factors in the design and construction of durable buildings and in the control of mold. Mold problems cannot exist without water problems.

By Lewis G. Harriman III & Joseph W. Lstiburek. The 2nd Edition of the ASHRAE Guide for Buildings in Hot & Humid Climates will successfully make the decision-makers aware of the key issues in the design and operation of buildings in this critical climate zone.

Helps technical professionals design humidity control systems for commercial buildings. The over 500-page Guide provides the HVAC designer with complete coverage of humidity control from basic principles to real-world design advice, and is organized in a logical, easy-to-follow layout.
