Program Overview
This three-year Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology advanced diploma program provides you with an understanding of the factors involved in designing, building, controlling and maintaining energy-efficient building environmental systems. The first two years of the program will give you practical skills through hands-on projects in the shops. You’ll work on a wide range of furnaces, air conditioners, refrigeration equipment and other appliances in our labs. In the third year, you’ll focus more on commercial systems, giving you a well-rounded knowledge base to succeed in the HVAC industry.
Full Description
Rising fuel costs, indoor air quality, and climate change are all factors in raising awareness of the true cost of energy, plus the need for energy-efficient building environmental system design, construction, and maintenance.
The Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Technology three-year advanced diploma program addresses the current and future needs of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) industry. In the first two years, you'll learn about residential and some light commercial systems. In the third year, we'll hone in on your understanding of commercial systems.
This program covers the basics of air system and hydronic (water) system theory needed to design distribution systems, select suitable fans, pumps, heating and cooling systems, and controls for larger buildings.
The program follows industry-standard design practices for environmentally responsible and energy-efficient residential, commercial, and industrial systems, as established by the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute (HRAI), the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the Canada Green Building Council.
