HVAC LAB

The HVAC Lab helps in understanding the principles of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning through theoretical concepts, practices and hands-on experimentations. The portfolio includes the basic concepts of refrigeration cycle, use of instruments and sensors, evaluation of the HVAC system schematic, case study on the HVAC system present in a building and determining the airtightness of a room using tracer gas decay method. The simulation module includes optimizing the HVAC system for reducing Energy Performance Index (EPI) of a building by optimizing the chiller systems and analysis of mixed mode model for thermal comfort of occupants.
