Understanding HVAC drawings

[shayanelec123]

Hi guys,

I am electrical engineer and am currently entering information of a building from AutoCAD into Revit MEP. I have problems when entering mechanical HVAC informations. I need a simple and helpful book (or link or...) that gives me some useful information on HVAC design, symbols and layouts, so that when I run into HVAC system in drawings I know what they are and how to deal with them in the model (I don't need to design anything as they are already designed and drawn, I just need to understand them and imagine them real space). Is there such a book out there? I really appreciate your feedback.

SMACNA has a publication about duct construction, and it includes a chart with symbols and what they represent.

Also there is a book "Practical Drafting for the HVAC trades" of Prentice Hall that is very good.

The rest to know is obtained with working experience in the field.

Regards

ASHRAE Fundamentals has HVAC symbols.
