This workbook contains some worksheets that can calculate various psychrometric properties of air given a few basic

inputs.

The accuracy of the results are based upon ASHRAE formulas and will be adequate for HVAC system work. I put this workbook together for my oldest grandson who'd learned a little about psychrometrics in a science class. But was having trouble grasping the concepts. Well, he knew old grandpa used to be a HVAC tech, so he asked if I could help him to better understand the subject. The worksheets are nothing fancy but they're useable. The workbook is free for anyone to use in any way they wish. And may be modified if desired. Just turn off Protection. Click shaded box below to jump to a worksheet.
