This course explores the practical application of ASHRAE Guideline 36 to the design, commissioning, and optimization of high-performance HVAC systems. Participants will examine standardized control sequences, energy-saving strategies, automated fault detection, and building automation integration, developing the skills to implement, test, and optimize HVAC controls in real-world building applications.
It is is ideal for HVAC controls and building automation professionals, mechanical engineers and designers, commissioning specialists, energy managers, and facilities professionals looking to enhance their expertise in high-performance HVAC system design, control, and optimization.
The learner will learn the following:
Implementing ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences in building retrofits helps optimize HVAC system performance, reduce energy waste, and improve overall building operational efficiency. These skills are increasingly important as buildings work to lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By learning how to configure, validate, and troubleshoot advanced building controls, learners develop practical capabilities that support building decarbonization, energy-efficient retrofits, and the transition toward low-carbon building operations.
