Curriculum

Design. Calculate. Select. Deliver.

Each module builds on the one before it. By the last, you are working the way a design office works rather than the way a classroom does.

  1. 01

    Cooling load calculation

    Carrier HAP

    Work out what a building actually needs before anything gets selected. Sensible and latent loads, occupancy assumptions and the judgement calls that decide whether a system is right sized or expensively wrong.

  2. 02

    Duct design and layout

    Sizing, routing and pressure drop, then laying it out against a real floor plan with real obstructions. Where the theory meets roof hips, fire walls and a ceiling void somebody else has already claimed.

  3. 03

    Equipment selection

    Choosing plant against a calculated load rather than a rule of thumb. Schedules, selection criteria, and understanding the cost consequences of each decision over the life of the building.

  4. 04

    Chilled water systems

    Central plant, pipe sizing, pumps and distribution. When a chilled water system is the right answer, when it is not, and how to design one that can actually be commissioned.

  5. 05

    Air handling units

    AHU design and specification, coil selection and the air side of the system, treated as an engineering problem rather than a catalogue exercise.

  6. 06

    Rooftop and packaged systems

    Rooftop units, DX and packaged plant. Structural and access constraints, and the trade-offs that make a rooftop the right or wrong call for a given building.

Who it is for

For engineers who want to design, not just install.

If you can already read a drawing but could not produce one from first principles, this is aimed squarely at you.

  • Mechanical engineers
  • MEP engineers
  • Project engineers
  • HVAC technicians and supervisors
  • Fresh graduates
  • Anyone working in building services
01

Work on real projects

You design against live project conditions, not textbook exercises, and leave with a portfolio you can show an employer.

02

Industry standard methods

The same tools and standards used on delivered projects, so what you learn transfers to the job on day one.

03

Taught by practising engineers

Every module is taught by people who design these systems for a living and have to answer for them on site.

Places are limited, and the group is kept small on purpose.

Write to us for the next intake, the fee and how payment works. You will hear back from an engineer who can answer questions about the curriculum itself.
