Cooling Theory

How do you properly cool a building? Cooling systems are used to cool and condition the air in rooms and building. To do this, they must remove heat from the air. How much heat needs to be removed to reach the desired temperature? What about humidity – the amount of water vapor in the air? Humidity affects how much heat we feel so it must also be addressed. This interactive online course will address these and other cooling system-related topics and issues.
