In Energy-Saving HVAC Tips for Green Buildings, you'll learn ...
- The importance of bio-climatic/solar passive building design, building siting, day-lighting and other architectural elements for minimizing HVAC loads
- The effect of energy-efficient lighting and appliances on HVAC systems
- Principles of heat transfer and the parameters affecting the selection of energy-efficient building envelope materials for roof, walls, glazing, and insulation
- Criteria for selecting appropriate refrigerants and cooling systems for your application - package units, ductless split, central chiller systems, pumps, and cooling towers
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 250 minutes has been met.

Buildings as they are designed and used today symbolize unrestrained consumption of energy and other natural resources with its consequent negative environmental impact.
Green HVAC design means improving a facility's indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption as much as possible. Like many other appliances, the cost of your indoor comfort system includes not only its initial price but also the ongoing costs of operation and maintenance. This means that the cooling and heating equipment and controls that you select today will continue to impact your finances for as long as you occupy the building. That's why investing in a high-efficiency comfort system and maintaining your comfort system makes sense.
This course discusses some of the proven energy efficiency HVAC concepts for new building projects. The course focuses on the design of energy-efficient building architecture, building construction materials, HVAC equipment design considerations, energy, refrigerants, and construction practices. Design engineers, consulting engineers, architects, realtors, building owners, facility managers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, and educators will benefit from this course.
