Expert systems are computer programs that seek to mimic human reason. An expert system shell, a software program commonly used for developing expert systems in a relatively short time, is being used to develop an expert system for the design of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Because HVAC design involves several related knowledge domains, developing an expert system for HVAC design requires the integration of several smaller expert systems known as knowledge bases. The expert system shell has been used to develop several HVAC design know~edge bases. A menu program and severel auxiliary programs for gathering data, compl eting calculations, printing project reports, and passing data between the knowledge bases are needed and have been developed to join the separate knowledge bases into one simple-to-use program unit.
