COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes
various practical sessions and exercises. Theory
learnt in the class will be applied using the following
practical methods:
(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 commissioning of
HVAC system or heat load calculation. It covers the HVAC
basics, HVAC codes and standards and HVAC&R
abbreviations; the air conditioning, ventilation and
refrigeration; the basic principles of HVAC&R covering air
properties, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature,
dew point, humidity ratio and relative humidity; the
psychrometric chart; the sensible and latent heat, design
conditions, air purification methods and air motion; and
comfortable velocity ranges, heat gain from occupants,
moisture removal and design conditions.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the HVAC systems comprising
of air systems and water systems as well as the HVAC design criteria; the
calculation of the load components, sensible load, latent load, load categories, skin
load, internal loads, people load, light load, equipment load, room load, effective load
and other loads; the types of air conditioning units/systems; the load calculations
using HAP software as well as cooling/heating load calculations and HVAC systems
commissioning; and the HVAC inspection, performance calculations and
troubleshooting analysis according to ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA 180-2012 standard.
