🌡️Module 1🔒

HVAC Fundamentals

Heat transfer, sensible vs. latent heat, psychrometrics, airflow, and the refrigeration cycle — the vocabulary the rest of the program assumes.

🔬 2📐 1

⚙️Module 2🔒

HVAC Components

Air handlers, chillers, cooling towers, heat pumps, VAV boxes, pumps, and compressors — how engineers select and apply them.

🔬 2📐 1

🧠Module 3🔒

HVAC Engineering Concepts

The program’s hallmark module — 17 concept pairs from CFM vs. ACH to economizers and indoor air quality.

🔬 2📐 1

🧮Module 4🔒

Load Calculations

Heating and cooling loads, solar gains, occupancy, ventilation, and infiltration — with complete worked examples.

🧮 2

💨Module 5🔒

Air Distribution Design

Duct sizing, velocity calculations, static pressure, diffuser selection, and air balancing.

Systems & Design

Covers Hydronic Systems, Refrigeration Systems, HVAC Controls & Building Automation and HVAC Drawings.

💧Module 6🔒

Hydronic Systems

Pipe sizing, pump selection, expansion tanks, chilled/hot water systems, and balancing.

🧮 1

❄️Module 7🔒

Refrigeration Systems

Refrigerants, compressors, evaporators, condensers, metering devices, and charging procedures.

🧮 1🔬 1

🎛️Module 8🔒

HVAC Controls & Building Automation

Thermostats, sensors, actuators, VFDs, sequences of operation, and BAS/DDC controls.

🔬 2🧮 2📐 1

📋Module 9🔒

HVAC Drawings

Mechanical floor plans, duct layouts, piping plans, control diagrams, and riser drawings.

Field Skills

Covers Codes & Standards, Installation & Commissioning and Troubleshooting.

0/3 done

📖Module 10🔒

Codes & Standards

ASHRAE, IMC, UMC, SMACNA, and ACCA — why the code exists, not memorization.

🏗️Module 11🔒

Installation & Commissioning

Equipment placement, duct/pipe installation, air/water balancing, and startup procedures.

🧮 1

🩺Module 12🔒

Troubleshooting

Real diagnostic scenarios — insufficient cooling, short cycling, high static pressure, and compressor failures.

Real Projects

You apply what you have learned to 9 complete designs, starting with Single-Family Residence.

🏠Module 13🔒

Single-Family Residence

A Manual J/S/D residential design — why residential HVAC differs fundamentally from commercial.

🏘️Module 14🔒

Apartment Building

Per-unit conditioning vs. a central plant, corridor pressurization, and common-area load calculation.

🏢Module 15🔒

Office Building

The program’s baseline commercial project — every later project deviates from this VAV-with-central-plant chain.

🏫Module 16🔒

School

ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation rates, demand-controlled ventilation, and occupied/unoccupied scheduling.

🏥Module 17🔒

Hospital

ASHRAE 170 pressure relationships, air change rates, and redundancy for critical air handling.

🛏️Module 18🔒

Hotel

PTAC/PTHP guestroom conditioning and the tension between guest comfort control and energy management.

📦Module 19🔒

Warehouse

High-ceiling heating/ventilation strategy and the minimal-cooling design philosophy.

🏭Module 20🔒

Manufacturing Plant

Process heat load contribution, makeup air for process exhaust, and spot cooling.

🧮 1

🖥️Module 21🔒

Data Center

Precision cooling, hot/cold aisle containment, and N+1 redundancy — the cooling side of a data center.

Resources & Certification
