This programme covers the maintenance of chillers, air handling units, ventilation systems and associated controls, giving facilities and maintenance staff the practical knowledge to keep building services reliable and energy efficient.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe the operating principles of common chiller, air handling and ventilation systems.
  • Carry out routine inspection and servicing of filters, coils and fans.
  • Diagnose common HVAC faults affecting comfort cooling and airflow performance.
  • Apply refrigerant handling and leak detection practice within legal and safety requirements.
  • Interpret building management system data to identify performance deviations.
  • Plan preventive maintenance schedules that reduce energy use and unplanned downtime.
