"A textbook with design data based on the 2013 ASHRAE handbook of fundamentals"--

Retired as professor and chair of mechanical engineering at the University of South Florida and is also professor emeritus of the University of Missouri-Rolla. For 40 years he taught courses in refrigeration, heating and air conditioning, thermal analysis, and related areas. He has been the principal or co-principal investigator of 12 ASHRAE-funded research projects. His industrial and consulting engineering experience ranges from ventilation and condensation problems to the development and implementation of a complete air curtain test program.

Harry J. Sauer, Jr., PhD, PE, Fellow ASHRAE Was a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla. He taught courses in air conditioning, refrigeration, environmental quality analysis and control, and related areas. His research ranged from experimental boiling/condensing heat transfer and energy recovery equipment for HVAC systems to computer simulations of building energy use and actual monitoring of residential energy use. He served as an advisor to the Missouri state government and conducted energy auditor training programs for the US Department of Energy.

William J. Coad, PE, Fellow ASHRAE Was ASHRAE president in 2001-2002. He has been with McClure Engineering Associates, St. Louis, Mo., for 40 years and is currently a consulting principal. He is also president of Coad Engineering Enterprises. He has served as a consultant to the Missouri state government and was a lecturer in mechanical engineering for 12 years and an affiliate professor in the graduate program for 17 years at Washington University, St. Louis. He is the author of Energy Engineering and Management for Building Systems (Van Nostrand Reinhold).
