HVAC Hacks - Module 12: Space Heating Equipment & Systems - Essential Tips & Rules of Thumb
This online engineering PDH course examines the design and operation of forced air furnaces, hydronic boilers, emitters, radiant floors, and heat pumps.
This course focuses on how forced-air furnaces work, identifying key components, and evaluating furnace capacity, sizing, and efficiency ratings as per industry codes and standards. It compares fuel options (gas, oil, electric) based on availability, explains the roles of air combustion and ventilation , and distinguishes between various draft types and venting categories.
Furthermore, this course covers hydronic heating systems, including boilers, circulator pumps, and piping layouts, as well as radiant floor heating design and the different configurations of heat pumps.
In addition, this course explores the core of real-world heating systems, forced air furnaces, hydronic boilers, emitters, radiant floors, and heat pumps. This course explores how heating equipment works, how to select the right components, and how to align system design with performance goals, all rooted in real-world HVAC applications. This course includes several metrics, and easy-to-understand “Rules of Thumb” guidelines based on experience and commonly accepted practices in the HVAC industry.
This 8 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and HVAC engineers, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about building heating systems.
