Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership (MAEEP) is offering a series of webinars that will introduce the fundamental concepts and equipment for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), with a focus on commercial and institutional buildings.
They will teach the basics of heat transfer and human comfort, estimating heating and cooling loads, different types of thermal energy distribution systems and HVAC equipment, control systems, indoor air quality, and how these topics relate to energy efficiency and electrification.
Some of the sessions will build on each other, but you may choose to participate in any or all of them.
The slides and a recording of each session will be available to all who register. Registration is free and open to all.
Session 2: Load Estimating & Energy Efficiency – Wednesday 2/11, 10:00-11:30AM
Correctly sizing systems to match the needs of the structure is key to energy efficiency and equipment longevity. We will introduce the fundamental concepts in calculating the heat gains and losses of the building in order to size the HVAC equipment needed.
