ECT 19: Psychrometrics & Load Calculations

Program Description:

The Environmental Control Technology Commercial HVAC Systems certificate and Associate degree program at Laney College is designed to "... prepare[] students to install, service, and maintain large-scale commercial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems (HVAC/R) and controls, with emphasis on safety, occupancy, comfort, and energy efficiency." The program focuses "... on technical knowledge and electronic and computer-based skills [that are] needed to increase energy efficiency in buildings."

Course Description:

ECT 19: Psychrometrics & Load Calculations is one of ten courses in the Environmental Control Technology Commercial HVAC Systems program. This 13-page instructor guide outlines the course, which serves as an "analysis of the physical properties of air in refrigeration and air conditioning." During this course, "students will develop an understanding of the basic concepts of psychrometrics including moist air properties, evaporation and enthalpy, plus basic thermodynamic processes."

This guide includes a table of contents, a catalog description, a sample syllabus, student learning outcomes, sample test questions, a list of course materials needed, and more.
