★★★★★Bought this as a facilities manager for a mid-sized warehouse, and it's been a solid reference. The first chapter alone was worth the price, especially the section on how static pressure actually affects fan performance - I had been oversizing units for years based on bad assumptions. The writing is straightforward and skips the usual fluff you see in these guides. It occasionally gets deep into engineering jargon that I need to re-read a couple times, but it's a genuinely useful book to have on the shelf when the contractor calls with a question.
