ATLANTA - The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has published its first eBook for use on the Apple iPad. The third and latest edition of ASHRAE GreenGuide: The Design, Construction and Operation of Sustainable Buildings is now available in an eBook format to provide iPad users with convenient access to the book’s guidance, which covers each stage of the building process, from planning to operation and maintenance of a facility, with emphasis on teamwork and close coordination among interested parties.
