This course deals primarily with the application of the fundamentals of engineering to the practical design of air conditioning systems. The course begins with the concepts of human comfort and their dependence on the proper conditioning of air, continues with cooling load estimating, psychometric analysis, indoor air quality issues, the design of the air distribution system, and the selection of the air conditioning unit and peripheral components. Throughout the semester the student is also trained in the use of engineering design software and computer-aided drafting software.

This is a course which deals primarily with the application of the fundamental facts of engineering to the practical design of central heating systems. Previous knowledge of heat transfer processes as applicable to air conditioning design (cooling) is required. Classroom instruction consists of engineering design and analysis of hot air (ducted), hot water (baseboards), steam (radiators), radiant (warm floors) and geothermal heating systems. Throughout the semester the student is also trained in the selection of equipment and peripheral components, and in the use of engineering-design and computer aided drafting software.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ESTC 102 - Electricity II. An advanced course in electrical control systems for HVAC, requiring that students have had either previous training or field experience in the areas of control and instrumentation for HVAC. This course focuses on residential applications beginning with concepts of automation and feedback for control loops, continuing with a presentation of operating principles of gas, oil and electric heating/ cooling control systems and associated equipment, and finally exploring indoor air quality (I.A.Q.) issues. Training is provided in the operation, troubleshooting, diagnosis and repair procedures of mechanical and electrical malfunctions on boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, central cooling systems, humidifying & dehumidifying equipment and peripheral devices, and in the operation, calibration and testing of such systems.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ARTC 206 - Residential HVAC Controls & Instrumentation. This is an advanced course in instrumentation and controls for Commercial HVAC. The student is introduced to pneumatic control systems and components commonly used in buildings to operate heating and air conditioning equipment. An introduction to electronic and to microprocessor-based controllers currently in use in commercial buildings, often known as DDC (Direct Digital Controllers), is provided. The student is expected to have had previous education (or training) in heating and air conditioning design, be familiar with basic conceptual knowledge of air conditioning processes and with electricity for HVAC/R.
