Overview

As energy costs rise and concerns about indoor air quality grow, it is vital that new or upgraded HVAC systems run efficiently and economically. Reliability is key to reducing maintenance costs, and while system design is important, even the best-designed systems require a well-planned commissioning process to ensure performance.

This course covers the commissioning of HVAC systems. Participants will learn about the operating principles of various systems, including all-air, air-water, and all-water configurations. The course outlines testing and balancing (T&B) procedures for air and water systems, and teaches participants how to plan, implement, verify, and document the entire commissioning process. It also explores the roles of key stakeholders — owners, designers, contractors, operators, and maintainers. Case studies illustrating the benefits of commissioning, along with its connection to troubleshooting, will be presented.
