Taylor
Engineering annually teaches three of the core courses for the UC
Berkeley Extension/Golden Gate Chapter of ASHRAE co-sponsored HVAC/R
certificate program. These courses are offered in downtown
San Francisco each
Spring (April to June). Information on these programs, the
certificate program and for course registration is available from
UC Berkeley at
http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cert/hvac.html.
HVAC Ductwork
and Piping Systems (X470)
This course covers the engineering fundamentals and practical considerations for the
design of components and layout of HVAC systems and equipment. It
is a practical course that outlines the design process for all
major HVAC components commonly in use. Lectures cover the
selection and specification of components such as fans, coils,
filters, pumps, chillers, cooling towers, boilers, water heaters,
terminal devices, and air outlets. The design of air and water
distribution systems is outlined with consideration for first
cost, energy costs, and other practical matters such as space and
maintenance. Energy conservation measures are highlighted
throughout the course and presented with consideration for energy
codes, utility rebate programs, and economic evaluation. The
emphasis is on commercial applications in the greater Bay Area.
The course manual was developed by the course instructors
Steve Taylor, Mark Hydeman and
Allan Daly. Taylor
Engineering principals have been teaching this popular course
through the UC Berkeley Extension Service since 1989. This
course is taught each Spring.
HVAC System Design Considerations
(X472)
This course covers HVAC design applications including: HVAC
system selection; HVAC system analysis; indoor air quality
(IAQ); energy conservation; life cycle-cost analysis;
commissioning; and other topics. Taylor Engineering will
be teaching this course for the first time in the Fall of 2007.
This course will be rewritten and restructured to mesh with
X470.
Temperature
Controls for Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (X473)
This course covers the design and
commissioning of
control systems including topics on pneumatic,
electric and DDC controls; sensors and control devices;
development of point lists; energy efficient control sequences;
open control protocols; issues for control retrofits; control
system performance verification; and other topics. The course
manual is the ASHRAE Self-Directed Learning Course on HVAC
Controls with supplemental notes by the instructors
Steve Taylor and Mark
Hydeman.
Taylor Engineering principals have been teaching this popular
course since 2004. This course is taught each Spring.
Building Systems
Design and Analysis
Allan Daly teaches a course, Building Systems Design and Analysis,
for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at
Stanford University. This is a 4 unit engineering course (graduate
and undergraduate) that meets each spring quarter. The course
topics include HVAC system design fundamentals, energy modeling
fundamentals, and a final energy modeling design project and
report. Information on this course is available at
http://www.stanford.edu/class/archive/cee/cee156/cee156.1066/coursework/syllabus.html.
