Learn the fundamentals of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, including heating types (furnaces, boilers, heat pumps), air distribution, filtration, purification, and the role of thermostats and ductwork in indoor comfort.
Explore how hvac design supports thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency to boost occupant health, safety, productivity, and building preservation.
Master AutoCAD, the industry standard CAD tool for AEC, covering 2D and 3D drafting, design visualization, and essential installation steps.
Learn to create and edit hvac drawings in AutoCAD by setting up units and scale, drawing components, inserting blocks, adding dimensioning, organizing layers, hatching, and preparing documented outputs.
Convert architectural plans to gray for hvac drafting by purging unwanted objects, applying a gray layer palette, and turning each floor into blocks to streamline service setup.
Apply the thumb rule to estimate heat load and supply cfm for hotel spaces, using tr = area times 0.07 and 1 tr = 400 cfm, including dining and ballroom.
Size air terminal devices for spaces by calculating CFM and selecting diffusers, grills, or registers. Use Gulf Grill Corporation catalog and Beta Industrial software to determine size and placement.
Size ducts with Mcquay duct sizer using equal friction and 0.08 in water per 100 ft loss to distribute 3800 cfm across corridor and dining areas with duct aspect ratios.
Design fresh air ducting layouts and size them using the 10–15% fresh air rule and CFM calculations, then implement risers, volume control dampers, and FCUs in AutoCAD.
Place hangers and volume control dampers (vcd) on every branch of the ground floor, create a layer named volume control damper vcd, and maintain maximum hanger spacing of 1800 millimeters.
Learn to draft a single-line chilled water piping layout, create chilled water and cold water headers, and connect pumps, expansion tanks, FCUs across floors using piping and drafting tools.
Master double line chilled water piping layout by sizing, offsetting, and placing T fittings and reducers, and aligning branch and main pipes with correct diameters.
master section drawing for hvac on a ground floor using AutoCAD: place section callouts, configure viewports, draw room geometry, hatch concrete, and outline duct layout with reducers and diffusers.
