HVAC Systems

What Will You Learn?

• Introduction to Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems:
• You will be introduced to various types of HVAC systems used in buildings, including:
• Split Air Conditioning Systems: Understand how these systems work and where they can be effectively applied.
• All Air Systems (Central Air Systems): Learn about systems that rely solely on air for conditioning and how to choose the appropriate system based on the requirements.
• Chilled Water Central Systems (All Water Systems): Learn how chilled water is used for cooling large buildings and the differences between this system and others.
• Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems: Gain knowledge of advanced technologies that use refrigerants for variable cooling control, depending on the load.
• HVAC System Design:
• International Standards and Codes: Learn about global standards such as ASHRAE Hand Book and their application in designing efficient and safe systems.
• Building Ventilation: Understand different types of ventilation and how to calculate the appropriate airflow to ensure a healthy indoor environment.
• Heat Load Calculation: Learn how to calculate the heat loads for buildings using HAP software to determine the cooling requirements.
• Design Requirements for Central Air Systems: Prepare design requirements for central air conditioning systems, including ductwork layout and sizing calculations using Duct Sizer software.
• Practical Project:
• The course will conclude with a practical project where participants will design a complete HVAC system for a building. This includes calculating heat loads, laying out ductwork, and selecting the appropriate systems.
