By the end of this course, students are able to:
1. Identify the fundamental physical concepts of HVAC systems and psy
chrometric processes.
2. Apply two different methods for calculating cooling loads; the heat bal-
ance methods (HBM) and the radiant time series methods (RTSM).
3. Apply the concepts of complex energy calculations and building
simulation for estimating yearly energy consumption in HVAC systems.
4. Evaluate the methods for location and selection of diffusers to deliver the
proper amount of air with the required total pressure at acceptable noise
level in HVAC systems.
