Spring Semester 2024 | HVAC Lab

Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, known as HVAC, use up about 30-50% of a building's energy. In the HVAC Lab course, we learned about making these systems more efficient and eco-friendly. We studied how HVAC works, different types of systems, and how to measure air quality. We also get to do practical tasks like measuring airflow and energy use. The course covers topics like how to choose the right fans and how to analyze data to save energy. We also learned about simulating HVAC systems and using smart cooling methods. Expert sessions teach us practical tips and real-life examples.
