CIBSE has published an updated and expanded edition of Guide C: Reference data, which offers core data building design calculations. It has been published to assist in the updating of data due to ongoing refinements in measurement and calculations.

The 2001 edition includes easy-to-follow tables and graphs. The guide is made up of six sections: properties of humid air; properties of water and steam; heat transfer; flow of liquids in pipes and ducts; fuels and combustion; and units standards and mathematical data.

Each section has been reviewed, and some have been completely rewritten. This includes details on traditional and synthetic pipes, ductwork sizing that takes into account Part L of the Building Regulations' requirements on fan usage. There is also extra material to cover the wide range of fuels now available.
