HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, a system used to control indoor temperature and air quality.
HVAC systems regulate heating, cooling, airflow, and humidity to maintain comfortable indoor environments.
It is the process of determining the heating or cooling capacity needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
It ensures the HVAC system is properly sized, improving efficiency, comfort, and energy savings.
Factors include room size, insulation, number of occupants, windows, climate, and building materials.
You can work as an HVAC technician, design engineer, maintenance specialist, or energy consultant.
