Spring Semester 2025 | HVAC Lab

As part of the Spring Semester, I completed a comprehensive HVAC lab project centered on system analysis, performance evaluation, and optimization. The work involved experimental analysis of air thermal stratification, in-depth study of VAV and VRF systems, and the development of HVAC schematics. I assessed real-world system performance, conducted comparative analysis of air- and water-cooled chillers, and optimized chiller sequencing using building energy simulation tools. The project also addressed temperature control strategies and thermal zoning in VRF systems, enhancing my capability to evaluate and improve HVAC efficiency through both experimentation and simulation.
