HVACengineering
HVACengineering, or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning engineering, is the branch of mechanical engineering that focuses on the design, analysis, installation, operation, and optimization of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and related systems for buildings and facilities. It aims to provide thermal comfort, acceptable indoor air quality, and energy-efficient performance across a range of climates and occupancies, integrating mechanical, electrical, and control systems with architectural constraints.
Core components include heating equipment (boilers, furnaces, heat pumps), cooling equipment (chillers, cooling towers, heat pumps),
Design and analysis begin with load calculations for heating and cooling, followed by equipment selection, duct
Applications span commercial, institutional, residential, industrial, data centers, and healthcare facilities. The work typically requires collaboration
