Spring Semester 2024 - HVAC Lab

Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Lab deals with thermodynamic principles of refrigeration cycle, concepts of ventilation, relevant standards to support the same. The studio involves measurement and experimentation to understand the working of air conditioning systems. The lab focuses on all components of HVAC systems, distribution systems, loops, etc. With the use of simulations, we explored how to optimise the HVAC system based on varied outdoor conditions and their impacts on comfort of occupants.
