Star
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Heating
and cooling systems are the largest single consumers of energy in buildings.
These systems condition the air within a building so that occupants are
comfortable. Heating and cooling systems consist mainly of chillers, boilers,
cooling towers, and pumps. There are central heating and cooling systems, and
unitary systems that combine heating and cooling. Opportunities exist for
improvement to both central and unitary systems.
In this
course, the student will learn strategies for improving heating and cooling
systems through system upgrades and optimization of operating methods..
The
student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Heating And
Cooling System Upgrades - Energy Star Buildings Manual.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at
the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
