Document Summary

Describe the different types of heat and heat energy transfer. Describe the components of the human comfort zone". Describe the components of heating systems, including thermostats and controls and methods of generating and distributing heat. Describe the safety components in a heating system. Discuss the pros and cons of each of the three types of centralized heating system piping arrangement. List and describe some common ways to conserve energy in an existing heating system. List and describe ways to design energy conservation into a new building. Air conditioning: any way air is manipulated (heated, cooled, moved, cleaned) Relative humidity (rh: quantity of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of water that the air could hold before the water condenses, dew point: the temperature humidity will condense into a liquid. Ideal ambient condition range at the breathing line": temp (68-78f, humidity 20-60, air movement. Radiant heat transfer is the movement trough space from one object to another.
