Campus Programs

The objective of the HVAC-R Technology program is to develop the skills and understanding necessary to obtain entry-level employment in such fields as HVAC-R sales, service, installation; facilities operation and sustainability; or energy efficiency technical work or auditing.

The curriculum focuses on basic operating principles of residential and commercial HVAC systems across the subsystems of cooling, heating, distribution, filtration and control. Emphasis will also be placed upon the skills and knowledge required to understand building automation systems and their efficient use of energy.

Elements of the program may also be appropriate for experienced HVAC-R technicians who may need additional training.
