HVAC Design Level l and ll (MENA)
2024-04-29 09:00 - 2024-05-03 17:00 | Dubai
Course Description
These courses will not only increase your HVAC knowledge, but it will also accelerate the rate at which you will increase your knowledge in the future.
Achieving energy-efficient building performance that provides cooling comfort for occupants and meets the needs of building owners begins with system design. If the design is flawed, performance will suffer, and owner objectives will not bev satisfied.
ASHRAE offers a solution to improve design practices. Whether a designer, or facility manager, a recent graduate or an experienced professional who has taken on new design responsibilities, it is critical to combine the basic understanding of current standards with the application of new technologies to achieve success. Without a basic understanding of how systems perform in real-world environments and knowledge of which design option are available, engineers are ill equipped to meet with the ever-increasing challenges of their positions.

[Online] District Cooling System Design (MENA)
2024-05-14 15:00 - 2024-05-15 18:00 | Online
Course Description
District cooling has the potential to provide a sustainable solution to meet cooling requirements in the Middle East. Apart from providing cooling needs, district cooling is more reliable, more energy efficient, and has less negative environmental impact in the region than standard approaches to air-conditioning.
To improve the design of district cooling systems (DCS), in 2019 ASHRAE published two practical guides to implement district cooling: District Cooling Guide, Second Edition and Owner’s Guide for Buildings Served by District Cooling. Each guide contains a wealth of information on system components and enhancements, troubleshooting problems, and the integration of components into district cooling systems for both designers and building owners.
With MENA countries likely to grow rapidly and urbanize further in coming decades, don’t miss your opportunity to learn from leading industry experts on the requirements of planning, designing, and operating district cooling systems.
This course presents practical guidance contained in two ASHRAE publications referenced above, ensuring that when designed and operated properly, DCS can be an energy-efficient alternative to conventional in-building chilled water plant adding to an owner’s sustainability portfolio and allowing the building owner to focus on their own business, rather than operating and maintaining a chilled water plant.
DCS can provide buildings subscribing to their service with chilled water for comfort and process cooling with the benefits to the building owner of greatly reduced or eliminated maintenance cost, much lower space requirements, and no concerns as to plant capacity or load growth. This 6-hour course covers what designers and owners need to know about district cooling to enable it to provide energy efficiencies and reliable operation.
Topics covered include Planning, Central Plant Design, Distribution System design, Building Interfaces, Thermal Energy Storage, and Operation and Maintenance. The instructors will take attendees through the guidance provided in the ASHRAE District Cooling Guide, Second Edition and the ASHRAE Owner’s Guide for Buildings Served by District Cooling, tools made available from ASHRAE to advance the successful applications and use of district cooling technology.

[Online] NEW! Introduction to Building Decarbonization (MENA)
2024-05-29 | Online
Course Description
Introduction to Building Decarbonization demystifies the primary sources of carbon emissions in buildings and explains the key drivers for decarbonization. The course focuses on the framework of decarbonization—including key definitions and distinct scopes that drive sustainable practices. Learn about ASHRAE’s role in disseminating vital decarbonization insights, emphasizing the urgency of combatting climate change, and pinpointing any given building’s substantial contribution to energy-related carbon emissions.
The course explores the complexities of building carbon emissions, including on-site combustion, construction-related sources, and refrigerant leakage. Other covered topics include the principles of building decarbonization, harmonizing occupant well-being, environmental stewardship, and the nature of direct and indirect emissions. The course concludes on the topic of sustainable building innovation—setting a foundation of best practices for a decarbonizing HVAC&R industry.

[Online] Commissioning Process in new & Existing Buildings (MENA)
2024-06-04 - 2024-06-05 | Online
Course Description:
This course focuses on how the building commissioning process can be applied cost-effectively to new construction and to existing facilities, with a strong emphasis on existing facilities applications. The fundamentals of the commissioning process through each step of a new construction project, from predesign to occupancy and operations will be introduced. Find out more about how the application of the commissioning process in existing facilities differs from new construction. Learn about the benefits of commissioning and gain an appreciation for how the process can improve the built environment, reduce environmental impacts through responsible resource utilization, improve the quality of design and construction, and raise the professional reputation of the entire commissioning team. Commissioning documentation, including an overview of commissioning specifications for new construction will be highlighted. Attendant will take away compelling information and case studies that demonstrate the value of investing in the commissioning process.
