Ventilation 24 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides the basics of the ventilation system and will familiarize the reader with the mechanism of infiltration, exhaust ventilation and forced ventilation systems.

 

The ventilation systems supply and remove air to/from the building. In doing so, these systems control quality of breathing air and protect personnel and sensitive equipment from potentially hazardous airborne contaminants, fires, explosions, and excessive heat.

 

All components of ventilation systems such as fans, motors, ducts, dampers, air intakes and outlets, filters, and access panels, must work properly in order for the systems to operate safely and efficiently. Therefore, ventilation system design must be considered as an essential part of planning and development of new facility. Failure to provide effective ventilation systems in the design stage can create costly obstacles to safe and efficient operation, which ultimately presents a threat to personnel safety and health.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of ventilation and exhaust systems.

This online engineering PDH course describes the results of the study which examined a variety of conditions that effect kitchen hood performance, make-up air application strategies, exhaust and supply air quantity comparisons and additional research needed to continue evaluating kitchen ventilation effectiveness and energy use.

 

A universal concern regarding the commercial kitchen space is having an effective ventilation system. A large portion of kitchen ventilation planning is dedicated to properly exhausting cooking effluent. Appliance layout and the energy input are evaluated, hoods are located and specified, the ductwork size and routing are determined, and exhaust fans are specified to remove the proper volume of air. Unfortunately, much less time is usually dedicated to planning how the exhausted volume of air will be replaced, although an air balance schedule is commonly used to indicate the source and quantity of the makeup air.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding on the effects of makeup air on commercial kitchen exhaust system performance.

This online engineering PDH course describes the hazards associated with batteries and highlights those safety features that must be taken into consideration when designing, constructing and fitting out a battery room. It is only for reference and anyone using this course should rely on state and local codes that may apply. Advice on specific ventilation rates required must be sought from the battery suppliers.

 

It is common knowledge that lead-acid batteries release hydrogen gas that can be potentially explosive. The battery rooms must be adequately ventilated to prohibit the build-up of hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small. However, the concern is elevated during times of heavy recharge of the batteries, which occur immediately following a rapid and deep discharge.

 

Often the worst case scenario for dangerous hydrogen accumulation is underestimated. But dismissing such a critical safety issue is not a safe or responsible way to deal with it. Instead, engineers should be prepared to face the likely possibility of hydrogen build up, clearly identify the conditions when the risk is highest, and design systems that protect us from explosive levels in a fail-safe way.

 

This 5 PDH online course is intended for HVAC designers,architects, loss prevention engineers, facility maintenance personnel, environmentalists, energy auditors as well as consultants and contractorsinterested in gaining an understanding of cost effective ventilation.

This online engineering PDH course describes some of the basics of kitchen ventilation fundamentals, the influence of makeup air, makeup air recommendations, influence of other factors on kitchen ventilation, and energy savings considerations in commercial kitchen ventilation system designs.  This course will also help you realize that technology and research is ongoing; therefore, it is wise to consult current design standards and codes regarding kitchen ventilation requirements and recommendations for each project.

 

Effective commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system requires air balance.  Fortunately, there is no "magic" to the relationship between an exhaust hood and its requirement for replacement or makeup air (MUA). The physics are simple: air that exits the building (through exhaust hoods and fans) must be replaced with outside air that enters the building (intentionally or otherwise).

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers who design commercial kitchen ventilation systems and are interested in current technology for commercial kitchen ventilation design.

This online engineering PDH course provides the framework necessary for integrating DCV into an HVAC system and includes background on ASHRAE ventilation standards. The course will take the reader through the design process and calculations needed to understand how to properly implement a DCV strategy.

 

The ventilation rate inside a building is directly dependent on the number of occupants in the space. If we had the ability to economically count each person as they enter and exit the space, then we could provide exactly enough ventilation air to meet the needs of the quantity of people in the space. But in most buildings occupancy is not tracked in real-time and therefore finding the right balance in ventilating your building is a challenge.

 

Most HVAC engineers and designers design ventilation system on the maximum anticipated building occupancy. This results in a waste of energy and money due to over-ventilation during lean periods. Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) is a ventilation control strategy that provides just the right amount of outside air the humans need. This accomplishes two things: First, it saves energy by not heating or cooling unnecessary quantities of outside air, and second, it can provide assurance that sufficient outside air is being supplied for the number of occupants present.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for Mechanical and HVAC engineers, architects, building designers, energy auditors, facility managers, property & estate managers, operation & maintenance personnel, as well as other professionals interested in gaining an understanding of the application of Demand Control Ventilation systems.

This online engineering PDH course describes the principles and practical applications of displacement ventilation and dedicated outdoor air systems for commercial buildings.  The student will gain an understanding of the energy and cost related to using these two types of systems.

 

Conventional heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in commercial buildings meet both outdoor air ventilation and space conditioning requirements using air distribution approaches that provide a mixture of outdoor air and recirculated air with the goal of achieving good air mixing within the occupied space. More recently, advanced ventilation approaches have been proposed, and in some cases installed, that separate the outdoor air ventilation and space conditioning functions (dedicated outdoor air systems) or that distribute air to achieve thermal stratification within the space.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of displacement ventilation and dedicated outdoor air systems.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the need for mechanical ventilation in homes as well as explains the components of an HRV system, how to operate and maintain the system, and how to solve operating problems.

 

The importance of ventilation in today's more energy-efficient homes is universally recognized. Introduced as a requirement for airtight homes, continuous ventilation systems are now common in new housing and major home renovations. Because of the energy savings generated, the system of choice is often a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV).

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to architects, engineers, designers, contractors, homeowners, and manufacturers interested in gaining a better understanding in residential heat ventilators.
