Course Objective
This course provides an overview of operations and maintenance of air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) system.
What is ACMV?
Countries in a tropical climate like Malaysia, air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) system is a necessary building system to maintain thermal comfort in a building throughout the year. According to a case study, ACMV system consumes about 50% of the total energy consumption of a typical commercial building. Thus, proper operations and maintenance of the ACMV system contribute significantly to reducing maintenance cost & energy consumption and achieving cost savings.
