Study Notes
HVAC System Design
- The primary goal of HVAC system design is to provide thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings and other enclosed spaces.
- HVAC system design is based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer.
Definition of HVAC
- The 'V' in HVAC stands for Ventilation.
Importance of HVAC
- HVAC is an important part of various environments, including residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
- It plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.
Ventilation in HVAC
- Ventilation involves the exchange of air between the indoors and outdoors, as well as the circulation of air within the building.
- It is an essential component of HVAC, as it helps to remove stale air, reduce moisture, and introduce fresh air into the space.
