Overview
This package has been specially designed by PDHengineer.com to provide 10 PDH at a highly discounted price. And, if you Refer a PE, you can get a FREE 1 PDH Ethics course as well. You could save up to 38% on PDH credits guaranteed to be accepted by your state board.
The package consists of two of our most popular HVAC Engineering courses in one easy-to-complete package that will earn 10 PDH.
Course 1 - Design Options for HVAC Distribution Systems (6 PDH)
Successful HVAC systems are the key to successful buildings. In a central system, air can be conditioned in a remote location in the air-handling units and distributed to the various rooms by ductwork. Or the air can be conditioned directly in the indoor spaces through fan coil units or other terminal devices.
The design of air distribution system must combine a proper choice of engineered products efficiently providing conditioned air to the space while adding architectural features which complement the interior design. A good understanding of the various types of commercial HVAC systems is important to ensure the best fit.
This 6 hours online course provides basic knowledge about the HVAC distribution systems in design applications. The course provides insight to various systems, technologies and equipment configuration with advantages and disadvantages.
This course is applicable to HVAC engineers, facility engineers, architects, energy auditors, environmentalists, operations and maintenance personnel, as well as consultants and contractors who construct, build and manage facilities.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions to earn PDH credits.

Course 2 - Air Conditioning Systems (4 PDH)
Most people think the air conditioning system's job is just to add "cold" air to the space. Actually air-conditioning is a process by which air is cooled and dehumidified by mechanical means. In a broader sense, air conditioning includes both the cooling and heating of air, cleaning it and controlling its moisture level, and conditioning it to provide maximum indoor comfort. Engineers define the process as one in which a system of mechanical components - usually a compressor, a fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil and a chemical refrigerant - extract heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated. The cleaning function of air conditioners is performed by filters.
Diverse geographical and operating conditions require considerably different types of air conditioning systems. The intended use of the conditioned space is the primary factor in determining the desired controlled environment and accomplishing the specific purpose by special equipment arrangement. Comfort applications in general aim to provide an indoor environment that remains relatively constant in a range preferred by humans despite changes in external weather conditions or internal heat loads.
This 4-hour course introduces the basics of air conditioning systems found in residential and small to medium commercial and industrial facilities. This course is entirely based on US Navy manual - Utilitiesman Basic, Volume 2: NAVEDTRA 14279, Chapter 7 - “Air Conditioning”.
The reader must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
