Course Description

Explore the fundamentals of HVAC design. Topics include heating and cooling systems; load calculations, including building envelopes, U-values, internal and external heat gains, and ventilation criteria; psychrometrics; air handling systems and their components, selection criteria, and classification; duct system design, including pressure loss calculation; fan classification and selection; and relevant laws.

Course Objectives

1.Knowledge of HVAC load estimating concepts

2.The ability to relate load estimates to equipment sizing and systems design

3. To provide with theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to install and service air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil, electric heating equipment, and commercial refrigeration equipment.

4. Residential Air Conditioning & Heating

5. Light Commercial Air Conditioning & Heating
