Laney College: Environmental Control Technology
Students will develop an understanding of the basic concepts of psychrometrics including moist air properties, evaporation and enthalpy, plus basic thermodynamic processes. After completing the course, students should know how to: use a psychrometric chart; properly design an HVAC system based on psychrometric principles; conduct a psychrometric analysis of HVAC components such as air handling units, heating and cooling coils, and humidifiers; evaluate the needs of individual spaces within a building; and determine energy reduction opportunities for HVAC systems. This course will cover the data and procedures necessary to accurately calculate heat gain and heat loss of residential and commercial buildings.
