This course builds on the acquired knowledge in ARET 3500 with a further analysis of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) building systems and system applications.Students explore the fundamentals of HVAC system components, including an investigation of the methods of the review and selection of HVAC equipment, and a detailed analysis of sizing ductwork and mechanical heating piping. In addition, students examine HVAC system representation utilizing current engineering practices in system drawing creation. Upon completion, students demonstrate competency in commercial building HVAC system design, equipment specification writing, control theory, and creation of a HVAC working drawing to engineering representation practices and standards. This course is only available in the Winter Semester. Prerequisite: ARET 1100, ARET 1110, ARET 3400, ARET 3500 or permission of the department chairperson. Note: This course is part of a limited enrolment program.
