Commercial HVAC Systems Design, Psychrometric Analysis & ASHRAE 90.1

Course Description

Provides mechanical and facility engineers with practical tools for sizing and optimizing HVAC equipment. Covers psychrometric property calculations, sensible heat ratio (SHR), building envelope heat gain/loss, ventilation rates per ASHRAE 62.1, variable air volume (VAV) vs. chilled water systems, fan laws, and energy efficiency mandates under ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2022.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this continuing education course, the licensee will be able to:

• Analyze air conditioning processes on the psychrometric chart including cooling, dehumidification, and sensible heating
• Calculate commercial cooling and heating loads utilizing peak solar heat gain coefficients and internal loads
• Size ductwork and air distribution systems using the equal friction and static regain methods
• Verify compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 building envelope, mechanical efficiency, and economizer requirements
