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 HVAC, plumbing water supply and fire protection. It covers the effect of heat and temperature on human comfort; the parameters that must be controlled to achieve human comfort; the principles of thermal balance of buildings; the principles of heat transfer and their impact on heating and cooling load estimates; the HVAC systems for smaller buildings and large buildings; and the comprehensive understanding of hydronic heating, electric heating and familiarization with all-air systems.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the warm air furnaces, air distribution system, air friction in duct systems and duct sizing methods; the different types of HVAC instrumentation & measurement concepts and techniques; the proper HVAC balancing procedures; the various principles of plumbing; the wastewater disposal and drainage design principles; the water supply design; the water supply distribution systems and domestic hot water circulation systems and considerations; and the knowledge on fire protection and fire alarm systems.
