Language

The learner will learn the following:

  • Understand and specify ASHRAE Guideline 36 control sequences for a range of HVAC systems and applications.
  • Configure, implement, and validate control sequences in hardware and software environments.
  • Apply Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostics (AFDD) to identify operational issues and improve building automation system performance.
  • Analyze real-world field implementations and troubleshoot advanced HVAC automation scenarios.
  • Develop practical skills for optimizing HVAC controls, improving system performance, and supporting more efficient building operations.

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.
