HVAC Air Quality Control & Ventilation System Design

HVAC Technician Training Texas Institute

Project Objectives

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a crucial factor in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Proper ventilation design ensures that pollutants, moisture, and carbon dioxide levels are maintained at safe levels. This project will focus on designing an effective HVAC air quality control and ventilation system to improve indoor air circulation, reduce airborne contaminants, and maintain thermal comfort.

The primary goals of this project are:

  • Understanding the components of an HVAC system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, ductwork, etc.)
  • Learning heat load calculation to determine the required system capacity.
  • Designing an energy-efficient duct system with proper insulation.
  • Installing an air conditioning and heating system following safety standards.
  • Testing and troubleshooting performance issues for efficiency.

Project Scope & Phases

This project enhances indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation efficiency by identifying pollutants like dust, mold, VOCs, and CO2 while following ASHRAE standards. It examines poor ventilation’s impact on health and HVAC performance. IAQ sensors measure CO2, humidity, and particulate matter to assess air exchange and ventilation effectiveness. Maintaining proper relative humidity (RH) prevents mold growth and ensures a healthy indoor environment.

Optimized ventilation systems use natural, mechanical, or hybrid strategies. Airflow rates are calculated per ASHRAE guidelines, with ductwork designed for efficient air circulation and filtration. Installation includes HEPA/MERV filters, air purifiers, and UV-C germicidal lights. Final testing ensures airflow efficiency, proper IAQ levels, and troubleshooting for duct leakage or poor ventilation.
