This online engineering PDH course addresses automatic temperature and humidity controls, space pressurization controls, safety controls, and energy monitoring and central supervisory control systems for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Energy efficient control systems are complete, reliable, fully functional, maintainable, fully integrated, addressable, control systems that have been properly designed, installed, and commissioned for efficient and cost-effective operation. In existing facilities, the design is integrated and interfaced into the existing control system so that the new equipment and conditions can be controlled and monitored similar to the existing controlled equipment.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the waterside problems specific to HVAC systems. It briefly discusses how the energy is dissipated from the open recirculation systems and how effective implementation and tight monitoring of the water treatment programs can conserve energy.
Cooling water is a vital utility for large air-conditioning systems. Use of good quality water or proper water treatment can cut your water, energy, and maintenance costs substantially. The savings are associated with the prevention or removal of scale built up on a heat exchange surfaces where even a thin film of 1/32" or 0.8mm can increase the energy consumption by nearly 10%. Perhaps most important of all, it can save you the cost of fixing or replacing equipment that's been damaged by inadequate water treatment; including the downtime and lost revenue usually associated with solving such problems.
The 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, HVAC designers, contractors, facility managers, O&M personnel who are responsible for operation and design of efficient HVAC systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides simple facts and energy efficiency opportunities in the areas of combustion management, makeup & feed water management, condensate return, blow-down system, waste heat recovery and steam distribution & utilization.
Fuel consumers face a double challenge. One is economic - to get the best heating value for every fuel dollar. The other is environmental - to keep emissions low, at least within legislated limits. Fortunately, what benefits the first objective also benefits the second. A boiler installation costing $75,000 can easily consume over $400,000 in fuel every year. Consequently, even with very economical fuel costs, a difference of just a few percentage points in boiler efficiency can translate into substantial savings. Understanding boiler operating costs is the key to maximizing investments year in and year out.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for mechanical, chemical & process engineers, system design engineers working in power, oil & gas, chemical, metal & mining, manufacturing and engineering industries, energy auditors, operational and maintenance personnel who are involved in the design and operation of boiler systems.
