Course content

3 sections • 17 lectures • 2h 50m total length

  • HVAC - Introduction9:44

    Explore heat transfer mechanisms—conduction, radiation, and convection—across walls and windows, plus solar gain, infiltration, and ventilation, and learn how HVAC systems distribute heated or cooled air to meet thermal loads.

  • 2-Lecture 2 _ HVAC_Sensible and Latent Heat and Psycometric Chart11:10

    Examine sensible and latent heat and their roles in total heat gain and loss, and use the psychrometric chart to relate dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures to humidity.

  • 3- Lecture 3 _ HVAC_Blower and Air Distribution9:15

    Explore how forced air systems use air handlers, ducts, and diffusers to deliver conditioned air, control fresh air intake, and maintain thermal comfort and indoor air quality.

  • 4- Lecture 4 _ HVAC_Duct Air Movement and Duct Materials9:10

    Explore duct materials, installation methods, and air movement principles for building services, including galvanized steel, aluminum, fiberglass, flexible ducts, insulation, dampers, and diffusers.

  • 5- Lecture 5 _HVAC_ Duct Sizing10:02

    Apply the equal friction method to size hvac ducts, computing airflow, cross-sectional area, and design velocity for various environments, and manage pressure drop and noise.

  • 6- Lecture 6_ HVAC_Procedures to Design and Install an Air Distribution System7:35

    Design and install an air distribution system by room-by-room sizing to meet calculated loads, ensure sealed supply with correct static pressure for airflow, and verify performance through testing.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirements for this course require completion of high school diploma that includes English, Math and Physics, or equivalent.

Description

This course will present how to cover aspects of Building Services with respect to provide thermal comfort, water supply and drainage, and fire detection and protection. Participants will understand the concept of heat transfer in buildings, fluid flow in pipes, learn the calculations incorporated into the design of the air ducting system, pipe sizing for water and drainage and fire suppression systems. Participants are introduced to the basic principles of residential air system, piping system for water and drainage and fire suppression system. This online course is arranged as a prerequisite for mechanical engineering and architecture students to learn the fundamentals they need and for the HVAC and plumbing professionals or staff wanting to build their basic knowledge of building services or technicians responsible for dealing with heating, ventilation, and plumbing. Learners will also examine the mechanical and Plumbing systems that must be incorporated into building design. Purposes and needs will be identified and examined for building services and utilities while remaining compliant with the appropriate codes. This course will also use codes and standards that are applied in various disciplines and explain the purpose of implementing them in addition to encompass how needs and wants within a building design are limited by construction practicalities.

Who this course is for:

  • Mechanical engineering and architecture students to learn the fundamentals they need and for the engineers and staff wanting to build their basic knowledge of HVAC, plumbing and fire fighting or technicians responsible for dealing with building services.
