Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Engineering

This course is intended for students who are interested in the field of Building Services. The overall objective of this course is to prepare students for professional practice in the area of mechanical system design to satisfy the requirements for a comfortable, healthy, and productive indoor environment for commercial buildings. The course draws on previous student experiences in physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer. Upon completion of the course, students will possess the skills to calculate heating, cooling, and ventilation requirements for buildings, design and evaluate conventional HVAC systems to meet these requirements, and design and evaluate low energy systems for high performance buildings
