Air Conditioning Optimization Workshop
This 3-day workshop will provide a systems perspective in the optimization of cooling systems from the building envelope to the size of the evaporator and everything in between. This course is designed for engineers who may already know how to size cooling systems but would like a better understanding of how to optimize the overall design. The program will integrate the knowledge from thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and engineering economics to provide a firm foundation for the design of any cooling system.
While participants may have studied these topics in separate courses, this program will integrate the topics and provide highly practical knowledge. The tools you learn in this workshop will be applied to a case study of a basic commercial facility.
Our instructor is Dr. David Zietlow, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Bradley University, whose combined experience in industry (12 years) and academia (14 years) has given him a valuable perspective that helps others understand energy systems at both the component and system levels.

This workshop is intended for design engineers, consulting engineers, energy specialists, facility engineers, and air conditioning manufacturer representatives.
