Air Handling Systems

The air handling components of central facility air conditioning systems are essential for providing comfort to occupants of commercial facilities. This course, in conjunction with the "Chilled Water Systems" course, provides a foundation for understanding air conditioning systems and discusses how to minimize the cost of your commercial facility's central air conditioning system.

This course describes a variety of air-handling systems used in commercial and industrial applications and introduces typical air system components, constant and variable air volume systems, variable air volume flow control, adjustable speed drives, ventilation, economy cycle, and other energy conservation opportunities. This course includes an in-class exercise that demonstrates a model for analyzing typical variable air volume retrofit economics.
