HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) management has been used since the second century and became prominent during the industrial revolution. It regulates temperature, humidity, and air quality in buildings. HVAC managers must understand mechanical and electrical equipment, and larger buildings require complex systems designed by mechanical engineers. HVAC systems are used in both commercial and residential buildings and have become more energy-efficient and environmentally safe over time.
Most people who understand building services are familiar with the term HVAC, which stands for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. HVAC management began in the second century and was used in Roman cities, where it was called the hypocaust. Eventually, HVAC management became more prominent and began to play an integral role during the industrial revolution as large factories began to use HVAC systems.
HVAC controls climate in commercial buildings and other facilities. While HVAC is often referred to as climate control, that term has changed to energy management. HVAC management involves regulating heating systems, radiators, chimneys, fans, air conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and air filters.
In most countries, all buildings must be operated safely and efficiently. This involves keeping the environment comfortable and ensuring that people are breathing clean, ventilated air. To keep things regulated and maintain an energy efficient environment, most buildings have an HVAC management department. HVAC management covers the installation, repair, maintenance and even construction of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
HVAC managers must have a thorough understanding of the electrical and mechanical equipment used in buildings. They must be mechanically inclined and understand the different electrical components that affect heating, air conditioning and ventilation. The two main components of HVAC management are temperature and humidity regulation. Depending on the size of the building, an HVAC system can be a small system that is simple to install or a larger system. Larger commercial buildings require more complex HVAC systems that must be specifically designed by mechanical engineers and often require entire rooms for proper system storage.
Climate management also plays a vital role in maintaining air quality. An HVAC system removes odors, dust, bacteria and excess moisture from the ventilation system. Proper HVAC management regulates airflow and microbiological elements that can affect people’s health. This is important because indoor air quality can affect everyone and poor air quality results in health problems.
HVAC systems are not just used in commercial buildings. They are also used in residential houses. In this case, the HVAC system is significantly smaller and capable of regulating the home’s temperature and humidity through homeowner monitoring. Over the years, HVAC installation and equipment has made substantial progress. Today, commercial buildings and homes use systems that are more energy efficient and environmentally safe.
