The guidance is mainly based on data and procedures in CIBSE Guides and other sources such as Building Regulations, with cross referencing to data sources.

The guide is presented as calculation sheets — including design watchpoints, design tips and rules of thumb. It is intended to help the design process and reduce errors.

Calculation sheets are presented in five sections: heating loads; cooling loads; water flow distribution; air flow distribution and acoustics. Each section is introduced using flow charts to provide an overview of system design.
