A Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system (HVAC system) is a group of components working together to “condition” the air in an enclosed space. The components ensure that the air in this space is clean and odor free, and that its temperature, humidity and circulation rate are maintained within desired ranges. This interactive online course focuses primarily on what an HVAC system air balance is, and how to achieve one.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify air balancing techniques
  • State two primary goals of an air balancing study
  • List some of the instruments used for air balancing
  • Describe the phenomena which complicates balancing multiple outlet airflows
  • Describe a TAB report

Did you know some air handlers have an airside economizer mode that will delay or eliminate the need for mechanical cooling if the outside air is cooler? The components, in an HVAC system, ensure that the air in this space is clean and odor free, and that its temperature, humidity and circulation rate are maintained within desired ranges. This interactive online course covers the components of an air handler, the operational functionality of an air handler, the methods of air handler maintenance, and the benefits and operation of an outside air economizer. This course should be used by persons working outside the U.S.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the components of an air handler
  • Describe the operational functionality of an air handler
  • Describe the methods of air handler maintenance
  • List the benefits and operation of an outside air economizer

There are a number of skills needed by any individual who responds to the hot and cold calls made by uncomfortable occupants of a building. First, a person must have a complete understanding of the HVAC system in question. Second, they need to have some training in methodical problem-solving techniques or troubleshooting. Finally, the individual requires “people skills”, that is, the ability to interact with sometimes-frustrated clients without becoming defensive, angry or unpleasant. In this interactive online course, we will focus on how to methodically approach solving comfort-related problems. We will also discuss some best practices for handling customer interactions during hot and cold calls.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • List the basic steps involved in troubleshooting a hot or cold call
  • Describe the analysis phase of troubleshooting
  • Describe the benefits of using a decision tree

The purpose of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems (commonly referred to as HVAC systems) is to provide environments that are comfortable for people and that allow equipment to operate safely and reliably. Residential, commercial, and industrial facilities use HVAC systems. An HVAC system is a group of components working together to “condition” the air in an enclosed space. The components ensure that the air in this space is clean and odor free, and that its temperature, humidity, and the circulation rate is within desired ranges. This interactive online course focuses primarily on the terminal units, or VAVs, that increase the efficiency and add flexibility to an HVAC system.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain the principle behind Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems
  • Identify the different types of VAV terminal units
  • Describe how to control VAV terminal units
  • Determine how to maintain, troubleshoot and repair terminal units

Do you know the meaning of the term “building static”? How about “flow balancing”? The purpose of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is to provide environments that are comfortable for people and that allow equipment to operate safely and reliably. An HVAC system is a group of components working together to “condition” the air in an enclosed space. This interactive online course focuses primarily on the components that move, distribute, and control the flow of air through HVAC systems.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify duct and building static pressure issues, fans, and drives
  • Describe the operation of actuators and dampers
  • Describe why HVAC zoning is needed and how it is accomplished
  • Describe the operation of ducted vs. return-plenum distribution systems
