Optimising Air Handling Unit Performance

This CIBSE-accredited CPD offers an in-depth exploration of Air Handling Units (AHUs), tailored for professionals seeking to enhance their expertise in energy-efficient HVAC design. The course delves into critical aspects of AHU design and operation, equipping consultants with the knowledge to optimise system performance while adhering to industry standards.

Key topics include:

• Casing and Energy Efficiency:
• Exploring the implications of ERP regulations on heat recovery in AHUs.
• Comparison of heat recovery methods using EN308:2022, with a focus on the benefits of thermal wheels versus plate heat exchangers, including considerations for leakage and system design.
• Strategies to significantly reduce heating and cooling loads by integrating latent recovery and evaluating the necessity of frost coils.
• Real-world application and impact on energy consumption.
• Overview of EN ISO 16890 standards for filter classification, with insights into how filter selection impacts system resistance and energy efficiency.
• Guidance on achieving ERP compliance with the right filtration strategy.

This CPD is essential for consultants aiming to deepen their understanding of AHU design, with a focus on reducing energy consumption and ensuring compliance with the latest standards!
