HVAC Systems and Equipment

Catalog description

Gain a working knowledge of how HVAC systems heat, cool, dehumidify, and ventilate commercial buildings. Topics include HVAC equipment, application and selection, refrigeration cycle basics, chilled water systems, heat pump systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, principles of heat rejection devices, geothermal systems, variable air volume (VAV), constant volume (CV), dual duct systems, and system sizing. The seminar concludes with a practical approach to energy-efficient HVAC designs in high-performance buildings. Strategies such as air-side and water-side economizers, variable flow water systems, variable air volume systems, supply air temperature reset, demand control ventilation, constant pressure systems, hot gas reheat, energy recovery ventilation systems, wraparound heat pipes, run around systems, boiler vent energy recovery and combined heat and power (CHP) concepts are reviewed. This course is designed for engineers, architects, contractors, real estate developers, and plant managers with a desire to understand the different HVAC systems for commercial buildings and to obtain knowledge of emerging technologies in HVAC.
