HVAC Psychrometry, Air Handling System and Duct Selection

Hello! Welcome to the one of the highest rated HVAC course in Udemy! If you are starting out in the HVAC industry, or wished to gain more knowledge in an area which seems complicated and confusing to most people, you have found the right course!

My strength and approach in training is simplifying the important knowledge into something you will be able to grasp easily. In this course, I cover the air side in building air conditioning systems extensively, and will build your knowledge slowly until you reach the competency of evaluating, selecting and sizing Air Handling Units (AHU) and Air Ducts.

Applying mechanical engineering theoretical concept such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, you will translate these theories into valuable and applicable knowledge specific to HVAC industry. They include psychrometry, equal friction method for duct sizing, analyzing heat gain in space and even controls application using BMS!

Join me to give yourself a head start in the HVAC career!
