FUNDAMENTALS OF HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)

Catalog description

Provides fundamental theories and knowledge to design energy-efficient and sustainable HVAC systems. Provides foundations for engineering students who will design and operate mechanical systems that promote energy saving, occupant comfort, and health in buildings. Discusses basic approaches to analyzing building mechanical systems. Applies scientific theories and analysis techniques of thermodynamics and heat transfer to critically evaluate building environmental quality, heating and cooling loads, energy and mass transfer in HVAC systems, building envelope, and occupied spaces.
