A building air system provides a controlled environment for personnel working in the building and provides the needed air adjustments. This is done by using exhaust and air makeup to control contaminates and preserve the building structure. This course describes the purpose of building air systems, makeup and exhaust air systems, conditioning methods, and air balance.

Learning Objectives

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

  • List typical safety hazards and safe work practices associated with building air systems
  • Explain the purpose of an effective building air system
  • Identify the types of equipment used for a makeup air system
  • Explain how an exhaust air system works
  • Describe the methods used for conditioning building air systems
  • Define “air balance” in a building air system
