  • For Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Efficiency, Comfort and Health

    In this in-depth advanced course, you will learn how to test and balance the airflow in commercial heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. For the health and comfort of the building’s occupants HVAC systems must provide the correct amount of airflow into and out of conditioned spaces to ensure acceptable temperature, humidity and volume of cooling, heating, and ventilation air.

    You will learn how to test and balance the ventilation air, the return air, and the heated and cooled supply air for each conditioned space’s air volume in cubic feet be minute (cfm), air changes per hour (ACH) and room pressurization and how to make changes when required. Whether it is conditioned space air volume, air changes per hour, or pressurization it is test and balance professionals that do the testing and make changes. 

    • The major air side components in an HVAC system.
    • General HVAC and test and balance terminology.
    • About centrifugal and axial fans in HVAC systems.
    • The instruments used in test and balance.
    • The report forms used in test and balance.
    • Basic and advance test and balance calculations.
