HVAC DDC Systems Design

This course covers heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) and direct digital control (DDC) system design and application. This course reviews air handling, chilled water, and hot water systems control for constant volume and Variable Air Volume (VAV) applications. Commissioning of HVAC DDC systems and various DDC open systems and protocols will be reviewed. This course includes an optional field trip. This course is structured to enable students to design and understand HVAC DDC Systems Design and application.

Topics include:

  • The six steps of HVAC DDC system design
  • Proper sequence of operations
  • Critical dos and don'ts as well as the accepted rule-of-thumb checks in HVAC control design
  • Temperature, humidity and pressure controls, DDC controllers, smart sensors and actuators, application-specific controllers and most commonly used HVAC control systems

Prerequisite: Minimum of two years HVAC-related experience or an Associate Degree in a related field.

Field Trip: This course includes an optional field trip to a most unique facility in San Diego.
