British Columbia HVAC 19 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering course provides necessary information to understand the principles and theory of refrigeration, the components of mechanical refrigeration systems, and the types of refrigerants and associated equipment. This course also discusses the methods used for installing, maintaining, and repairing refrigeration equipment, including domestic refrigerators and freezers.

 

Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an area or a substance. It is usually done by an artificial means of lowering the temperature, such as by the use of ice or mechanical refrigeration, which is a mechanical system or apparatus, designed and constructed to transfer heat from one substance to another.

 

This 8 PDH online course is intended for HVACR, mechanical and industrial engineers, manufacturers, maintenance staff, and others seeking a basic understanding of refrigeration systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of psychrometrics and suggests how a better understanding of psychrometrics will improve air conditioning design and selection of equipment.

 

Psychrometry is the study of moist air. It is significant in terms of thermal comfort and is a major consideration in design of air conditioning systems. Air conditioning engineers use the psychrometric chart to predict changes in the environment when the amount of heat and/or water in the air changes. A psychrometric chart provides a convenient way to look at the air conditioning processes and it will answer why heated air can hold more moisture, and conversely, how allowing moist air to cool will result in condensation.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to students, mechanical and HVAC engineers, process engineers, architects, building designers, contractors, energy auditors, facility managers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of psychrometrics.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP) sizing and selection process. It provides guidance on the process of sizing air source heat pumps according to the design heating or cooling load and intended use (“Sizing”), as well as identifying the appropriate system according to the installation and application (“Selection”).

 

The focus of this course is on air source heat pumps for space heating and/or cooling applications. It covers several applications of ASHPs, including new home (or major new addition) installations, full heating system replacement where existing HVAC equipment is removed, as well as add-on ASHP applications to displace heating energy or provide supplemental heating where existing heating equipment remains functional.

 

This 5 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, systems designers, and other technical professionals to assist them in selecting and sizing air source heat pumps in both new and existing residential applications.

This online engineering PDH ethics course is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

 

This course will address the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession. It will also present unique ethical case studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the Province of British Columbia and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete at least one (1) professional development hour relative to the principals of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
