Building energy systems are responsible for moving energy around in buildings through air, water, and refrigerant distribution systems to meet heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs of the occupied spaces. This course will train engineers and architects to design these HVAC systems based on the engineering foundation established in the previous course. Students will learn the design objectives dictated by occupant comfort and health, apply engineering principles to heat and mass exchangers, design both air and water distribution systems, and explore alternative methods for providing indoor environmental comfort to occupants.

HVAC design begins in the building occupied zone. In this module, you will learn the anatomy and functional characteristics of both air and water distribution and delivery systems. The design of these systems is driven by occupant needs for comfort, health, and productivity. Our exploration of thermal comfort and acoustic considerations will inform the design, especially at the interface with the occupied zone.

In this module, you will explore the range of possibilities for achieving comfort, health, and productivity in occupied spaces. The possibilities include air delivery strategies for fully mixed zones and alternative displacement methods that involve intentional stratification, as well as radiant methods either as separate systems or integrated into the building structure.

Moving conditioned air around in a building is an exercise in fluid dynamics. In this module, you will understand pressure profiles in air distribution systems and layout and design air distribution systems using two common design methods. You will also understand how fans interact with duct systems, leading to application of engineering guidelines for their selection and operation.

As with air, moving hot and chilled water around in a building is an exercise in fluid dynamics. In this module, you will understand pressure profiles in water distribution systems and layout and design water distribution systems using a common design method. You will also understand how pumps interact with piping systems, leading to application of engineering guidelines for their selection and operation. Finally, you will compare and contrast performance benefits of air and water distribution systems.

This final exam comprehensively tests your understanding of all five modules of this course through a set of conceptual, equipment selection, and quantitative questions. Some of the conceptual questions will involve simple arithmetic calculations, while for the quantitative questions, you will need to employ your computational tools that you developed. Review these tools and have them ready before you embark on the final exam.

常见问题
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
