Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Systems

This workshop covers fundamentals of HVAC systems starting from psychometric calculations to design of air conditioning cycles. Load calculations, distribution, system selection, controls and energy conversation of HVAC systems are all covered in this workshop. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Provide a practical understanding of the theory dictating the design and control of HVAC systems
• Provide information on the energy conservation aspects of HVAC Systems
• Minimize forced outages and prevent serious damage to HVAC equipment
