    The third and latest edition of “ASHRAE GreenGuide: The Design, Construction and Operation of Sustainable Buildings” is available in electronic-book (eBook) format for use on the Apple iPad.

    The eBook includes embedded links to other sections of the book and to graphics and relevant Web pages.

    “We want people to have access to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) guidance wherever they are, without having to carry around a hardback book,” Sheila Hayter, chair of the organization’s Publishing and Education Council, said. “With the release of 'GreenGuide' eBook, detailed information on the design of high-performance buildings is as close as one keeps their iPad.”

    The "GreenGuide" eBook is available as a download in Apple’s iBooks store for $39.99 and requires the iBooks app.

    About the Author

    Scott Arnold | Executive Editor

    Described by a colleague as "a cyborg ... requir(ing) virtually no sleep, no time off, and bland nourishment that can be consumed while at his desk" who was sent "back from the future not to terminate anyone, but with the prime directive 'to edit dry technical copy' in order to save the world at a later date," Scott Arnold joined the editorial staff of HPAC Engineering in 1999. Prior to that, he worked as an editor for daily newspapers and a specialty-publications company. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University.
