1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces the design and assessment of environmental control systems in conformity with current codes and standards. Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems that provide anticipated indoor environmental conditions in the Canadian climate are investigated. Techniques for the design and performance of environmental control systems are presented through simulation exercises. Passive (non-mechanical) techniques for heating, cooling and ventilation of buildings are also explored.
