Purpose:
The purpose of this course for HVAC design engineers is to teach or refresh them in the concepts of HVAC design for DoD and other government facilities. For others such as those in positions of contracting, area or resident engineers and project engineers the course teaches the criteria requirements and need to include provisions in scopes of work for meeting criteria requirements. For students who are QA’s or on-site technicians the course provides an understanding of how systems interact and function together. Because design success depends upon those not engaged in design, it is important for all if DoD is to meet criteria requirements, including public law. An overarching function of the course is to pass on unique aspects of DOD design and experiences to highlight paths to successful design.
Description:
This course presents topics on (a) heating and cooling load calculations; (b) psychrometrics; (c) duct design; (d) hydronic system design; (e) equipment selection; (f) HVAC system sizing and layout; (g)HVAC system design and construction criteria and sources; (h) building insulation and U-value determination; (i) energy conservation criteria including ASHRAE 90.1 conformance; (j) noise and vibration considerations, and (k) indoor air quality. It also provides the basis for a standard methodology of design.
Prerequisites:
Nominees must be assigned (a) Occupational Series: 0800 through 0855; (b) Grade: no limitations; (c) current or projected assignment as an HVAC design engineer or technician with limited or no design experience. The course provides an overview of HVAC design topics for individuals responsible for design, construction, or operation of HVAC systems.
