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 3: Thermal Energy Distribution Systems – Wednesday 2/18, 10:00-11:30AM
Introduction to the three primary ways to move thermal energy (heating and cooling) throughout a building: duct systems, water piping (chillers & boilers), and refrigerant piping.
