Educational Objectives:

• To enable students to understand the basic principles of design and operation of heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigerating (HVAC&R) systems for environmental control of buildings.
• To enable students to design and select proper HVAC&R systems to serve the desired purpose.

• To explain the fundamental principles of HVAC&R systems for environmental control of buildings.
• To develop skills for design and selection of HVAC&R systems.
