HVAC Fundamentals and BMS Controls

Description

*Free summary PDF file included*

Welcome to our best selling online HVAC course designed for beginners and those seeking to enhance their expertise in a complex and often confusing field. Our training approach is centered on simplifying important knowledge to make it easier for you to grasp. We cover the water-side of building air conditioning systems extensively and gradually build your knowledge to the point where you can competently evaluate, optimize, select, and size chillers for a typical chiller plant.

Our course also provides insight into HVAC controls (air-side and water-side) and troubleshooting using Building Management Systems. This area is often overlooked but is crucial in managing HVAC systems effectively and optimizing the operation of the entire chiller plant. Our experienced instructors use innovative teaching methods and cutting-edge technology to translate complex concepts into practical knowledge that's specific to the HVAC industry.

Some 5 stars reviews from the students:

"I have struggled with HVAC and getting my head around the concepts for a very long time. I took a course on it in my postgraduate schooling, and still couldn't understand it. This course has made all of these concepts suddenly clear and I understand how to apply them. I'm only half way through but I am seriously impressed with the clarity of the information and the fantastic examples Mike has put together to drive the concepts home. Thanks for a great course!" -Zoe Zeiler

"I learned an enormous amount of info from this course. The course is very well-structured with full of information in it. This taught me a lot about HVAC Fundamentals and BMS Control as what the Course Title says. Upon finishing this Fundamental course, I felt that I have gained solid foundation and ready for more advance pertaining to HVAC subject. Great job instructor. I highly recommend this course to everyone." -Jhoe Missi

"Clear explanation of concepts for beginners such as me. Good number of examples and thought provoking problems that help you apply the taught concepts. Worth the pay." - Subashini Urkavalan

"I enjoy going over the basics all the time to keep myself in-tune and up-dated all the time. I have 25 years experience in the HVAC industry but you still learn everyday. Thank you Mike Lo for a great course and a awesome attempt to do so in English. I have again learnt alot more than I originally knew before the course." - Bruce

"Crystal clear explanation on a not so easy topic! As an HVAC electrician that is mainly involved with the controls and power, it was really useful for me to get a deeper understanding of the mechanical side of things, for which this course was perfect."  - Dries Herreman

"Course well designed. All of my doubts cleared. Good for fundamentals." -Deepak Kumar Swain

"I think it is a good match for me as a starting point and the lecture was very thorough and clear. Excellent!" - Carlos Zapata
