About the Course

Overview

Air-conditioning systems are typically one of the highest energy consuming building mechanical systems. Hence, it is essential for us to design air-conditioning systems with energy efficient and effective strategies. In addition, installation of permanent instrumentation for the measurement and verification of chilled-water air-conditioning systems helps to better manage and monitor the systems’ performance, such that the operational efficiency can be optimised and maintained through the equipment lifespan.

Objectives

This course aims to equip industry practitioners with knowledge to design energy efficient air-conditioning systems, carry out measurement and verification of systems’ efficiency and prepare Operating System Efficiency (OSE) report.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply BCA’s environmental sustainability legislative framework and BCA Green Mark 2021 (GM:2021) requirements on Air-Conditioning (A/C) system performance.
  • Review and optimise A/C system design and equipment selection to ensure good operating performance; and
  • Prepare OSE reports.
