This webinar will focus on the practical knowledge that every individual in the construction industry shall have about HVAC systems. You will learn the engineering fundamentals and practical considerations for the selection of HVAC systems. You will understand the different HVAC systems for commercial buildings, their applications and equipment types. In addition to the basics of the refrigeration cycle, the instructor will discuss how chilled water systems and heat pump systems work, how VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems performs, the basic principles of heat rejection devices and geothermal system operation, and concepts such as Variable Air Volume (VAV), Constant Volume (CV) and dual duct systems. The seminar will also include a practical approach of relating cooling and heating loads with HVAC equipment selection and sizing. The webinar will continue with a practical approach to include energy efficient HVAC designs in high performance buildings. Strategies such as air-side and water-side economizers, variable flow water systems, variable air volume systems, supply air temperature reset, demand control ventilation, constant pressure systems, hot gas reheat, energy recovery ventilation systems, wrap around heat pipes, run around systems, boiler vent energy recovery and combined heat and power (CHP) concepts will be reviewed. The seminar will conclude with an overview of practical concepts for air distribution design, including air side equipment classification and real-world considerations for ductwork design. Ideal for engineers, architects, contractors, real estate developers and plant managers with desire to understand the different HVAC systems for commercial buildings and obtain knowledge of emerging technologies in HVAC.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
Note to Webinar Attendees:
Our live webinars (web seminars) are considered as "Courses of Learning" (live courses) by the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying and as "Timed & Monitored Courses" by the Ohio State Board for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Unlike the traditional seminars held in a classroom setting, our webinars deliver live instruction to your home or office. You will be able to interact directly with our instructor during a webinar through audio channel or chat box. However, you must attend the webinar at a scheduled date and time. We will verify your attendance through our online webinar platform. The certificate of completion will not be issued unless you attend the webinar and pass a quiz (all quiz questions will be reviewed during the webinar). Thank you for your cooperation.
