Understanding & Optimizing HVAC Systems

1. Attendees will be instructed on and should learn about the various types of HVAC systems - single zone and muti-zone constant air volume systems, water to water, water to air, air to water, air to air, variable air volume systems, package systems, split systems, electric heat pumps, variable refrigerant flow systems, and variable water volume systems.
2. Attendees will learn about additional HVAC equipment & systems including fossil fuel and electric boilers, furnaces, chillers, refrigerant coils, heating and cooling water coils, electric duct coils, air filter, volume control dampers, fans, and pumps.

Learn

1. How to optimize HVAC equipment and systems to provide an acceptable level of occupancy comfort or process function while maintaining good indoor air quality and holding overall cost and energy requirements to a minimum.
2. Conduct basic math calculations - heat power (Btuh), air changes per hour, volume of air flow, brake horsepower for constant and variable volume systems, and energy savings for optimized equipment.
