PDH CREDIT: 2
Economizers in Air Handling Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes how air-side economizers are used in air handlers serving commercial buildings.  It also discusses when and when not to use economizers, how economizers are controlled, how economizers can save or waste energy, what to look for if economizers are not working properly and other issues related to economizer applications.

 

An air-side economizer is an HVAC control system that can provide significant cooling energy savings when much as they should and some waste a lot of energy. Economizers save energy by using outside air to cool buildings. Better design, controls, installation, monitoring, and maintenance can help economizers meet their potential.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers who design HVAC systems for buildings where the climate is appropriate for air-side economizers.
