HVAC 101: Air Handling and Cooling Systems

HVAC 101: Air Handling and Cooling

Course Description

HVAC systems are complicated, containing numerous parts and equipment. They are also one of the most important pieces of equipment in a commercial building, keeping employees, machines, customers, and others comfortable during the cold months of winter and through the heat of summer.

This webinar begins with an introduction to thermodynamics and explains how energy cannot be destroyed and that all systems progress toward disorder. We will then discuss different HVAC cooling systems, their design considerations, the required equipment for these complicated systems, their general cost, and the life expectancy of an HVAN unit.
