Overview
Building air systems are important to the building performance. It is imperative that the HVAC engineer understand the types of building air systems and the equipment used in these systems, as well as control variables and limitations. Various factors and parameters are taken into consideration when building air systems are selected, such as space, cost, comfort, controls, etc.
In this course, the student will learn about air distribution systems, including types of systems, equipment and controls. In addition, the student will learn some general guidelines applicable to system design parameters and application considerations including advantages and disadvantage of various system types.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in ASHRAE Handbook – 2004 HVAC Systems and Equipment, Chapter 2: Building Air Distribution. Note that the 2004 ASHRAE HVAC Systems And Equipment Handbook is not provided as part of the purchase price for this course. It must be obtained separately by the student. If necessary, this document can be purchased through ASHRAE's online bookstore at
