1. Training Title

Energy Conservation Measures for the HVAC Systems

2. Training Overview

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for around 40% of the commercial building energy consumption. Therefore, making this system efficient will improve the building efficiency and sustainability drastically.

We will discuss in this course energy conservation measures that can be implemented to the HVAC systems to make it more efficient. The course will discuss improving the efficiency for all the major equipment of the HVAC system as well as energy efficiency control strategies that can be added to the Building Management System (BMS).

3. Benefits of Training

To learn how to identify energy saving opportunities in the HVAC system and calculating the energy saving for each opportunity and its payback period.
