DESCRIPTION:
Everyone prefers staying well. Still building occupants are getting sick, and more of them are blaming their illness on the indoor air quality (IAQ) where they work, attend school, or receive medical or dental attention.
This seminar will enable the participant to gain knowledge of IAQ and develop skills in how to assess ventilation and HVAC systems, how to recognize IAQ problems and what type of corrective action can be taken quickly. The course will also provide participants with practical guidelines for the operation, maintenance and evaluation of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A discussion of various HVAC components required to improve IAQ and enhance the performance of ventilation systems will be explored.
HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT:
You will learn:
¨ An assessment of ventilation and HVAC systems
¨ Recognize IAQ problems in the workplace and may rectify problems economically
¨ Will learn that corrective action can be taken easily and it is less time consuming
¨ Understand the importance of HVAC systems related to IAQ
¨ Specifics of design and the intended functioning of HVAC Systems
¨ Will learn the role and function of individual HVAC components
¨ Workshops
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Engineers, HVAC contractors, engineering consultants, industrial hygienists, health and safety personnel, facility operators, building managers/owners, maintenance personnel/ supervisors and those individuals that perform IAQ evaluations. This course will also be of interest to anyone seeking a better understanding of some of the most popular tools used in improving indoor air quality (IAQ).
The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:
You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.
A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).
Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.
To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.
