Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for around 40% of the commercial building energy consumption. Therefore, making this system efficient will improve the building efficiency and sustainability drastically.
We will discuss in this course energy conservation measures that can be implemented to the HVAC systems to make it more efficient. The course will discuss improving the efficiency for all the major equipment of the HVAC system as well as energy efficiency control strategies that can be added to the Building Management System (BMS).
To learn how to identify energy saving opportunities in the HVAC system and calculating the energy saving for each opportunity and its payback period.

Learning Objectives/ Course Objectives
The course objective is to prepare the trainees to understand the operation of the HVAC systems and how they consume energy so they can identify energy saving opportunities and implement them.
The trainees should have a minimum knowledge of the HVAC systems in the commercial buildings.
The trainees will understand how the HVAC system components operate, consume energy and waste energy.The trainees will learn how to identify energy saving opportunities in the HVAC system and how to implement them.The trainees will learn how to calculate the energy saving and the payback period for different energy conservation measures.
The duration of this course is one day
Learning method will be in presentation format and group discussions with challenging questions to the trainees to maintain interactive learning.
