This portfolio represents work carried out in the HVAC Lab studio during the Spring 2025 term, where the aim was to explore the physics and practical use of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Through theoretical learning, site visits, hands-on experimentation, and building simulations, the course emphasized understanding system performance, energy consumption, and occupant comfort. We investigated how HVAC systems influence indoor environmental quality and building efficiency. By combining practical and analytical approaches, the course provided a comprehensive understanding of HVAC systems and their critical role in sustainable building operations.
