ATLANTA - The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has announced that the ASHRAE Handbook is now available online to allow for quick and easy access to its extensive HVACR information.
“The advantages of the ASHRAE Handbook Online are numerous,” said Dennis O’Neal, 2009-10 chair of the ASHRAE Handbook Committee. “For one, the text is fully searchable and includes live links to figures, tables, footnotes, equations, and other Web references. Going online also allows for fast navigation among all four current Handbook volumes, with live cross-reference links.”
ASHRAE noted that an online subscription provides immediate access to Handbook content, in contrast to the two weeks required for shipping of the CD; requires no software installation; eliminates dependency on one computer by allowing for quick and easy access from any computer with an Internet connection; and costs considerably less than the price of purchasing each volume separately, offering a $331 savings for non-members.
