Earns 1.0 CEU / 10 PDH
Price:
$485.00
AEE offers self-paced seminars to provide students the opportunity to participate in continuing education courses, earn CEUs and receive a certificate of completion without traveling or following a course class meeting schedule.
These self-paced home-study courses can be taken any time during the designated term period. Here's how the program works:
Each registered student receives a printed book containing all the course material along with the e-mail address of the instructor so that questions can be asked at any time during the term. (Students outside the US are charged an additional shipping fee which is calculated and approved by the student before the registration is processed.) Each student who completes the course questions found in the printed book, returns them for scoring, and makes at least 70 will receive a certificate of completion and 1 CEU. The CEU credit can be used toward recertification.
FUNDAMENTALS OF HVAC SYSTEMS
This seminar covers the full range of HVAC systems used in today's facilities. This comprehensive seminar provides a complete picture of how HVAC systems operate. Systems are broken down into components for air, water, heating and air conditioning to clearly illustrate the way in which each system, subsystem, or component contributes to providing the desired indoor environment. You'll learn the factors that determine why one component or system may be chosen over another with respect to application, energy conservation, indoor air quality and cost. You’ll learn about heat flow and the heat flow calculations that are used in selecting equipment and determining system operating performance and costs.
SEMINAR OUTLINE HEAT FLOW Energy Power Calculations HVAC SYSTEMS Air-air systems, air-water systems, water-air systems, water-water systems Single-zone, multi-zone, dual-duct, constant air volume and variable air volume systems System design, operation, and maintenance AIR-SIDE COMPONENTS Ductwork, fittings, dampers, and air distribution devices Diffusers: ceiling, slot, light troffers, characteristics, pattern control Registers and grilles: characteristics, pattern control Terminal units: pressure dependent and independent, CAV and VAV Fans: characteristics, applications, ratings, operation, and maintenance WATER-SIDE COMPONENTS Piping, air removal, expansion tanks, heat exchangers Valves: manual, automatic Terminal units Pumps: characteristics, applications, operation and maintenance HEATING COMPONENTS Water boilers Steam boilers Fire-tube boilers Water-tube boilers Electric boilers High and low pressure boilers AIR CONDITIONING COMPONENTS Compressors Condensers Cooling towers Evaporators Metering devices Refrigeration piping and accessories About the Instructor Sam Sugarman, CEM, CTAB, CDSM, CIAQM is a nationally recognized energy and power educator. He is the author of numerous articles, books and videos on performance testing and evaluation of HVAC&R systems. Mr. Sugarman has developed specialized training programs for HVAC system commissioning and optimization, air and water testing and balancing, energy management, hazardous materials response, indoor air quality testing, laboratory fume hood testing and certification, clean room testing and certification, and refrigerant containment.
Mr. Sugarman holds certifications in energy management, demand-side management, air and water balance, hazardous materials response, refrigerant containment, and indoor air quality. His wealth of technical knowledge derives from over 25 years of hands-on testing and evaluation of indoor environmental systems including clean room facilities, corporate headquarters, government facilities, high- and low-rise office complexes, hotels, hospitals, fume hood laboratories, major retail establishments, military installations, nuclear power plants, and public and private schools.
