COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 (1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice testing, maintenance and troubleshooting. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then client shall provide access to its HVAC and refrigeration workshop for practical sessions. 

 (2) HVAC Simulator: Participants will use in the class the state-of-the-art HVAC Simulator to practice some of the skills learnt. 

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of HVAC Systems. It covers the importance and components of an HVAC system; the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics; the heating systems, cooling systems, ventilation systems and air distribution systems; the HVAC system controls, control strategies, building automation systems (BAS) and energy management and optimization; the energy efficiency measures for HVAC systems, energy-saving technologies, HVAC system maintenance and optimization and green building standards and certifications; and the factors affecting indoor air quality, pollutant sources and their health effects and air filtration and purification systems. 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the importance of indoor air quality through ventilation strategies and load calculation and system sizing; the HVAC system installation best practices, commissioning process, testing and balancing procedures and start-up and performance verification; the preventive maintenance tasks for HVAC systems, troubleshooting, safety precautions during maintenance and repairs and documentation and record-keeping; the hydronic systems and types of air conditioning systems; and the ductwork design and installation.
