Course Overview

The Efficient HVAC Systems certification by the Delft University of Technology via edX is a 7-week online course. This online certification course explores different steps of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) that help engineers come up with a proper design while collaborating with the architect. The Efficient HVAC Systems certification syllabus at Delft University of Technology via edX will provide learners with an understanding of how to distribute heat and cold with the help of air and water systems, what are the temperature levels to be used in both and how that relates to the type of energy supply and the thermal quality of the building construction.

The Efficient HVAC Systems online course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems where participants can learn to design buildings with low energy demand and choose low carbon energy supply while being able to determine if this will lead to a liveable indoor environment. The development of the Efficient HVAC Systems certification by the Delft University of Technology via edX is supported by Climate-KIC and includes two types of enrollment options - Verified Track and Audit Track. Students can enroll in the free audit track that has limited access or they can easily upgrade to the paid verified track directly.

What you will learn

Knowledge of nuclear energy

With the Efficient HVAC Systems training programme, students will learn about air handling units while deepening their knowledge on how to humidify and dehumidify air when required and its significance for energy consumption. They will also be able to:

  • Explore how different distribution systems lead to different comfort experiences and different indoor air qualities.
  • Get to know which simple control techniques can be applied.
  • Get exposed to a modern complex system comprising an aquifer thermal storage, boiler, solar collector, heat pump, air handling unit, PV-cells, water, and air distribution systems.
  • Develop skills to understand the complexity of HVAC systems.
  • Understand the basic rules of how to control HVAC systems to get the best out of them and how to utilise data from the Building Energy Management System.

Who it is for

The Efficient HVAC Systems training programme is designed for individuals who want to learn the different steps of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) and become certified engineers, architects, and HVAC technicians.
