HVAC – Air Side: Air Distribution

Do you know the meaning of the term “building static”? How about “flow balancing”? The purpose of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is to provide environments that are comfortable for people and that allow equipment to operate safely and reliably. An HVAC system is a group of components working together to “condition” the air in an enclosed space. This interactive online course focuses primarily on the components that move, distribute, and control the flow of air through HVAC systems.
