HVAC for Senior Living Facilities
This course provides an overview of HVAC system selection and design considerations for senior living facilities, focusing on occupant health, safety, and welfare. Participants will compare common system types—VTAC, split systems, VRF, and water source heat pumps—evaluating their impact on indoor air quality, thermal comfort, energy performance, and maintenance. The course reviews key code requirements, including ASHRAE 62.1, 90.1, and 15, and highlights sustainable design strategies such as LEED and Passive House. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain practical insight into designing HVAC systems that support safe, healthy, and efficient environments for vulnerable populations.
