Heating Systems Design6 CreditsPrerequisite: ARTC-102 Air Conditioning Systems DesignThis course deals primarily with the application of the fundamental facts of engineering to the practical design of central heating systems. Previous knowledge of heat transfer processes as applicable to air conditioning design (cooling) is required. Classroom instruction consists of engineering design and analysis of hot air (ducted), hot water (baseboards), steam (radiators), radiant (warm floors) and geothermal heating systems. Throughout the semester the student is also trained in the selection of equipment and peripheral components, and in the use of engineering-design and computer aided drafting software.
