  • Why HVAC systems play a major role in achieving a quality indoor environment
  • Basic air-conditioning processes
  • HVAC system impacts on comfort, productivity, and indoor air quality
  • Heat loss and cooling load calculations
  • HVAC equipment and how it operates
  • Define your requirements for a DDC system to serve HVAC and related building systems
  • Know what the marketplace has to offer to meet your requirements
  • Describe the hardware and software elements that make up a DDC system
  • Construct a DDC architectural master plan for your requirements
  • Describe the essential elements of a DDC system specification
  • Define the application requirements for the building systems
  • Plan for the commissioning of the DDC system
  • Identify appropriate applications for chiller plants
  • Recognize design criteria and select system components
  • Evaluate and specify the control requirements
  • Incorporate options for energy efficiencyAppreciate why a natatorium is a difficult facility to design, and reduce your designer risk/liability
  • Understand critical design and installation issues that must be fully understood and properly addressed to ensure years of comfortable and trouble-free operation of the facility
  • Learn how to properly calculate moisture (latent) load and understand design and operating factors that can impact pool evaporation rate
  • Learn how to maximize human comfort and health as well as preserve building integrity
  • Eliminate customer complaints and maximize facility revenue
  • Understand energy consumption issues and technology available to minimize operating costs
  • Identify routine maintenance procedures to ensure your natatorium delivers years of pleasure
  • Learn about pool water chemistry and disinfectant byproducts present in a pool atmosphere, their negative impact on occupant health and practical methods used to improve natatorium IAQ
