By the end of this course, participants will be able to: 

• Plan HVAC systems for SSMUH projects by identifying zoning, space, and coordination challenges that impact mechanical layout and performance. 
• Apply best practices in HVAC system design using load calculations, room-by-room sizing, and collaboration with energy advisors to ensure efficient, right-sized installations. 
• Commission heat pump and dual-fuel systems effectively using recognized standards and tools to verify performance, set switchover temperatures, and avoid costly callbacks. 
• Install systems that protect building performance by maintaining the air barrier, optimizing ductwork, and ensuring code-compliant, quiet, and balanced HVAC delivery. 
• Communicate confidently with clients and trades to address concerns, build trust, and reinforce the value of high-performance systems in modern homes.
