Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) Systems
About This Course
This course provides comprehensive training in the design, evaluation, and optimization of Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) systems, equipping learners with the technical skills necessary to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in building operations. Participants will conduct energy modelling and simulate ACMV system performance to determine potential cost savings and environmental impact. Through practical application of Singapore's regulatory standards such as ETTV and Green Mark, learners will assess thermal efficiency of building envelopes and ensure compliance with energy codes. The course also covers the selection of appropriate equipment, optimization of piping and ducting layouts under variable loads, and the integration of modern ventilation strategies including pre-cool and CO₂ control through advanced design software. Emphasis is placed on long-term system performance through the application of Design for Maintainability (DfM) principles and adherence to relevant building regulations.
As energy efficiency and sustainable building practices become increasingly vital, professionals skilled in ACMV system design and maintenance are in high demand across construction, facilities management, and M&E consulting sectors. This course enhances employability by aligning with current green building standards and regulatory frameworks in Singapore, preparing learners to contribute directly to energy-saving initiatives. It is especially relevant for those looking to upgrade their roles into supervisory, consultancy, or specialized engineering positions within the built environment sector.
This course is intended for intermediate learners with a foundational understanding of HVAC or building systems, and aims to deepen their expertise in energy-efficient and regulation-compliant ACMV system design."
