Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technology (HVAC)

The Ivytec heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) course is based on a laboratory, and almost all classes of meetings have a practical section where students train and study actual stoves and air conditioning equipment. In this lab you can gain experience with equipment installation, charging air conditioning equipment, and troubleshooting equipment. Our students also learn about energy efficient equipment such as solar heat, thermal storage, geothermal, air and hot zoning system and HVAC building automation system. In some cases, you can join community services by helping local churches and food banks meet HVAC needs.

All HVAC Tech instructors at Ivy Tech have years of experience in the HVAC industry and bring actual experience to the classroom. Students will also receive multiple national certificates as part of their course to add to their resume. In addition, the HVAC program cooperates with an advisory committee consisting of HVAC contracts and other businesses to confirm that the content taught in the classroom reflects the needs of the site.

Graduates of the HVAC program can work in various industries. Our graduates are currently engaged in building maintenance, HVAC contractors and stores, nursing homes, school systems, and almost everything else you can think of! As everyone is exposed to the HVAC multiple times every day, the demand for trained HVAC engineers is very strong and almost all graduates quit school.

HVAC is an abbreviation for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. This means that your HVAC system covers everything from your home heating system and windows air conditioners to apartment buildings, skyscrapers, industrial buildings and shopping centers. The HVAC system provides comfort in the room to adjust the temperature regardless of outside weather conditions. Even an individual house stove is an HVAC system, like a huge stove in apartment houses and offices that require constant coordination and maintenance. They may be smaller or have different forms, but they have the same function and features. Can you imagine seasons and temperature changes without air conditioners or stoves? Can you imagine spending winter without a water heater? We may all freeze or die and stay for several months without proper shower.

This is an HVAC system that creates a comfortable indoor air environment. HVAC stands for heating ventilation and air conditioning. Heating is easy, there are several ways to heat the building, but there are disadvantages such as excessive water removal. Ventilation is to ensure that the air contains healthy oxygen, or at least contain enough oxygen to survive and remove carbon dioxide. In general, air conditioning is considered "air cooling" in indoor environments. Humidity should be considered in all three parts of the HVAC system. This has advantages and disadvantages.

The main purpose of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is to maintain good indoor air quality and help to provide comfortable heat through proper ventilation by filtration. HVAC system is the biggest energy consumer at school. The choice and design of the HVAC system can also affect many other high performance targets, such as water consumption (water-cooled air conditioning equipment) and acoustic effect (see sound). Domestic and international air ventilation consensus standards are ASHRAE standard 62.1-2010, acceptable indoor air quality ventilation and published appendix. This standard usually incorporates state and local Building Standards Act, and outside air that natural ventilation systems or mechanical ventilation systems must provide to various areas of schools including classrooms, gyms, kitchens, and other areas for special use Specify the amount of.
