Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. (1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice testing, maintenance and troubleshooting. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (InHouse), then client shall provide access to its HVAC and refrigeration workshop for practical sessions. (2) HVAC Simulator: Participants will use in the class the state-of-the-art HVAC Simulator to practice some of the skills learnt. Over the last 20 years, no one area of the HVAC industry has changed so dramatically as controls. These critical HVAC subsystems have undergone significant and fundamental changes, perhaps the most drastic of any in our industry. We have evolved from pneumatic controls to "overlay" energy management systems and first generation Direct Digital Controls (DDC), to current generation distributed DDC. The transition has been rapid and today we find ourselves dealing with control systems that are very different than those that were available just a few years ago. The computer industry's trend of increasing processing power and memory at a lower cost over time is quickly influencing DDC controllers. The advent of open protocols and increased availability and use of site/building/campus networks has increased the complexity of the design, procurement, and operations of these systems. Twenty years ago, we were looking at pneumatic receiver controllers, transmitters, and actuators, along with first-generation, expensive, and centralized DDC products.
