Course Title Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
Course Introduction
This course is an introduction to the design of thermal systems for indoor climate
control. The concepts, design, application and control of air conditioning and
refrigeration are introduced through the use of fundamentals of thermo-fluids. The
course is designed to provide a balance among theory and practical design principles and
to introduce the students with real world problems of air conditioning and refrigeration
design and applications.

Teaching Learning Strategies
The learning and teaching approaches for the Wind Power Engineering will adopt
multiple approaches for enhancement of deep understanding. Lectures will be delivered
via multimedia and whiteboards. Group discussions will be encouraged for nurturing the
critical thinking among students. In addition to that home assignments will also be
given.
