Overview

Sustainable design requires collaboration between engineers, architects, owners, and facility managers to create high-quality, productive environments while considering environmental impacts. The LEED™ (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) rating system provides a way to quantify sustainability in building design.

This course introduces key concepts of sustainable design and operation of HVAC systems, covering various equipment and system options, guidelines for selecting systems based on application, and case studies to solidify understanding. This course caters to individuals with little background on the subject while providing valuable resources for more experienced personnel working with HVAC systems in buildings.
