Buildings as they are designed and used today symbolize unrestrained consumption of energy and other natural resources with its consequent negative environmental impact.
Green HVAC design means improving a facility's indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption as much as possible. Like many other appliances, the cost of your indoor comfort system includes not only its initial price but also the ongoing costs of operation and maintenance. This means that the cooling and heating equipment and controls that you select today will continue to impact your finances for as long as you occupy the building. That's why investing in a high-efficiency comfort system and maintaining your comfort system makes sense.
This course discusses some of the proven energy efficiency HVAC concepts for new building projects. The course focuses on the design of energy-efficient building architecture, building construction materials, HVAC equipment design considerations, energy, refrigerants, and construction practices. Design engineers, consulting engineers, architects, realtors, building owners, facility managers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, and educators will benefit from this course.
