This is a self-study on demand course. This course is self-paced, so you don’t need to be logged in at any specific time. You can get started immediately after you enroll and the course materials will remain in your account with minimum guaranteed access for 12 months (1 year) after enrollment.
The course begins with a discussion of solar (heating & PV) and radiant technologies, how they are complementary, advantages, and challenges of integrating them.
This week we'll discuss the types of solar heating systems commonly used for solar combisystems and explore the overheating considerations that are unique to solar combisystems.
Beginning this week, we'll get into the details of solar storage strategies, and control considerations in solar combisystems. You'll learn some techniques to assist with system design for your project. This week spills into Week 4, where we will explore codes and standards related to these systems.
This week we'll discuss codes and standards related to solar heating, including the USEHC, ASME requirements, ComibSol Best Practices, and other key design and installation requirements.
In the sales process, prospective clients will often inquire about the benefits of a solar heating system. Analyzing system production when integrating solar with a radiant system requires understanding of building science and solar modeling programs. This week, we will analyze the information needed to model these systems and examine how to use the results of these models to support the sales process.
To finish out the course, you're going to design a full system, including drawings, calculations, and equipment selection. You'll walkaway with the confidence to do these designs on your client projects.
