ADA Standards for Accessible Design
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:     
  • Purpose and general scope of the guidelines    
  • Definitions set by the Standard    
  • Technical requirements as they apply to new construction, additions,
    alterations, and historic preservation    
  • · Special requirements as they apply to specific facilities  State Board
    Acceptance

This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements
mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional
Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that
pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing
education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine
the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept
online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which
are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear
purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the
skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your
mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.


Commercial HVAC
Most people think the air conditioning system's job is just to cool the spaces.
Actually, a complete air-conditioning system is capable of maintaining
temperature and humidity below or above that of surroundings and provides
fresh air into spaces free of contaminants, dust and odorants.

Air-conditioning systems are bifurcated in two broad categories: comfort air
conditioning and process air-conditioning. Comfort air conditioning refers to
control of spaces to promote the comfort, health, or productivity of the
inhabitants. Process air-conditioning systems are designed to facilitate the
functioning of a production, manufacturing, or operational activity such as
mission critical environments like datacenters, or medical facilities, which require
year-round control of temperature, humidity and air cleanliness, within the
narrow tolerances.

Commercial air-conditioning systems may contain a myriad of components, many
of which are present in one form or other in a variety of configurations. Also
these components may be assembled into systems literally a dozen or a
hundred different ways but in practice these can be classified into three broad
categories: all-air, all-water, and air-processed in a central air-handling
apparatus. The boundaries between these system types are not absolute, but
the choice largely depends on cost, aesthetics and degree of control.
