Description
Ventilation is one of the most important engineering techniques for controlling the quality of air in an indoor environment.
Covers the principles of industrial ventilation and engineering controls for airborne hazards. Provides competency in general ventilation and industrial ventilation design.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
  1. Discuss the occupational/environmental health approach to risk management
  2. Define the characteristics of local exhaust and general dilution ventilation
  3. Analyze the performance of ventilation systems
  4. Select an appropriate exhaust hood, balance flow in ducts, determine exhaust fan requirements, and choose the appropriate air cleaning technology to use for standard industrial operations
  5. Design a balanced local exhaust ventilation system integrating all components
