Abstract

Over the years, it has been observed that many graduate engineers are unable to present themselves for the Professional Interview (PI) conducted by the IEM because they possess insufficient design experience, which is a prerequisite. This intensive design course will therefore prepare potential candidates for the said PI.


Course Overview

This course is to provide the candidate the knowledge on design, fabrication, installation, testing and commissioning HVAC system for domestic, commercial and industrial installations to ensure safety and proper functioning, and comply with the requirements of international engineering standards.

The objectives of this course are listed below.
1. Design of mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning (ACMV) system for domestic, industrial
    and commercial buildings complying with the local authorities and international standards.
2. Mechanical Ventilation System and Uniform Building By-Laws.
3. Design calculations for cooling capacity, air distribution system, refrigerant piping, chilled
    water system and condenser water system.
4. Energy efficiency system, automation and control philosophy in air-conditioning.
5. Fabrication and installation of air ducts
6. Air-cleaning & filteration system, acoustic consideration, dehumification and condensation
    factors, balancing air and water side, testing and commissioning HVAC System
7. Operation and Maintenance of HVAC equipments
