Overview
Buildings, including industrial and commercial buildings, consume about 45% of total electricity generation from the main grid or other local generations, leading to global warming and a significant high CO2 emission to the environment. Almost 50% of building energy consumption is attributed to air conditioning systems. In a tropical region like Singapore, space cooling is essential for industrial or commercial buildings throughout the year to improve productivity, thermal comfort level and indoor air quality.
As chiller plants are an essential part of the buildings and consume a significant amount of energy, this course focuses on the fundamental of chiller plants and its associated components such as blowers, fans, piping network and ducting networks. Other topics will also be discussed in this 2-day course including the selection of chiller to optimise the energy consumption in the buildings, as well as water system and air system in contributing to the chiller plant’s energy efficiency.
To aid companies in transforming their capabilities through their human capital, and support Singapore’s drive towards becoming a Smart Nation, this course is mapped to the Singapore Economic Development Board’s Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index – Dimension 6 - Facility Automation; Dimension 9 - Facility Connectivity; Dimension 12 - Facility Intelligence
