001[Music] hvac in sustainable energy is a three-year consecutive program designed to give students the understanding and hands-on skills needed to enter into the college and career fields of heating ventilating air conditioning and refrigeration and green energy applications such as photovoltaics solar water heating and building weatherization in this class students learn about thermal dynamics the theory of refrigeration electrical theory and sustainable energy they also learn about the importance of refrigerant recovery and the impact that refrigerants can have on our environment by ozone depletion and global warming potential they learn that it is of critical importance that refrigerants be handled responsibly and of the potential consequences to our environment and quality of life if they are not students learn about and use several hand and power tools as well as trade specific equipment such as refrigerant recovery
002through class projects students will build an entire hvac system from scratch a small refrigerator from scratch and will complete gas piping and wiring projects sheet metal and duct projects solar electric and solar water heating projects and geothermal heating and cooling projects one popular activity is when students have to diagnose the faults that the teacher puts into their complete and working projects and they love to actually put their new knowledge and skills to use while building projects upon course completion students receive numerous certifications like the osha 10 hour construction certification the csst gas line certifications the epa universal refrigerant certification and the r410a refrigerant safety certification after high school students can look forward to direct entry into the hvacr trade and can also work as an apprentice in the electrical and plumbing trades if this seems
