International. The new HVAC Applications publication consisting of 65 chapters covering a wide range of facilities and topics was written to help engineers design and use equipment and systems described in other volumes of the Manual.

The 2019 edition includes three new chapters:
- Indoor Pools (Chapter 6)
- Indoor AirFlow Modeling (Chapter 59)
- Occupant-Centered Sensors and Controls (Chapter 65)
Some other updates include:
- Educational Facilities (Chapter 8) provides updated design criteria and a new section on central plant optimization for higher education campuses and educational facilities for students with disabilities.
- Health care facilities (Chapter 9) have been extensively rewritten to address current health care requirements.
- Solar Energy (Chapter 36) has added an updated guide on solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic applications, with new information on design and performance of photovoltaic systems and on installation and operation guidelines for photovoltaic systems, with new practical examples.
- Integrated Building Design (Chapter 60) has been completely rewritten to give more details about the Integrated Building Design (IBD) process.
- Mold and Moisture (Chapter 64) reviews the order of mold risk factors to better reflect their relative importance and added information from ASHRAE RP-1712 to advise on the components and configuration of dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) to help prevent mold growth in schools, universities and military barracks during extended periods of HVAC operation in unoccupied mode.
- The ASHRAE Handbook 2019: HVAC Applications is available in two editions: I-P (inch-pound) or SI (International System) units of measurement.
Individual chapters can also be purchased as digital downloads in PDF format.
