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.
