Frank, since 1987, has created unquestionably the best professional technical
development program delivered at the University of California, San Diego. His
program is the definitive training program for HVAC professionals in the region,
demystifying practical systems design for literally thousands of diverse HVAC
professionals. Frank, in his book, captures the same clarity of presentation and
practical relevance of the content that are hallmarks of his classes.

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) University College and Extension
Services is proud to use Frank Shadpour's book, Fundamentals of HVAC Direct
Digital Controls, in its HVAC Certificate program. Mr. Shadpour also instructs
the program and was the first technical instructor to be named Instructor of the
Year. I can say unequivocally that without Frank's expertise and hands-on
involvement in our program, CSULB would not be able to provide access to state-
of-the-art HVAC technology to the extent we do.

Control Theory and Application
The Fundamentals of HVAC Direct Digital Control is a very practical study guide
for those new to the field of HVAC. It also provides a perspective on building
control system networking and interoperability that even experienced HVAC
designers will appreciate.
