HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) is a field well-recognized globally, but understanding the rationale behind making the right decisions and selections in HVAC is a valuable asset for any organization, company, facility, building, production process, or maintenance department. This HVAC Design, Operation & Maintenance training course is designed to outline the correct approach for HVAC design, operation, and maintenance.
"Comfort conditions" are a key focus for HVAC professionals, and these conditions need to be clearly defined, tailored, and precisely implemented to achieve customer satisfaction. This course introduces the standards that guide the definition of key parameters, requirements, and limitations. By understanding the environmental and project-specific conditions, the expected outcomes and deliverables can be successfully achieved.
This HVAC Design, Operation & Maintenance training course will cover:
- HVAC design principles
- Chilled water system piping
- Heat transfer and selecting the right air cooling system
- Different HVAC operation modes
- HVAC maintenance requirements
By the conclusion of this HVAC Design, Operation & Maintenance training course, participants will be able to:
- Grasp the fundamentals of HVAC design, including materials and equipment.
- Evaluate different alternatives and choose the most suitable option.
- Identify the appropriate AC units for various needs.
- Comprehend the different operation modes of HVAC systems.
- Create maintenance plans based on available manuals and guidelines.
Participants to this Energy training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the seminar outline with the Tutor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Seminar methodology includes presentation, pre-assessment and post-assessment tests, brainstorming, and participants case studies analysis.
