Abstract
In this project work we are going to design the energy efficient HVAC system for a school
building. The use of air conditioning systems for residential/office buildings were very
minimum in the earlier days of 1980’s. Due to the technology advancement and industrial
growth buildings were started construction in a closed area and construction of apartment
also increased after 1980’s with increased population. Also, ambient temperatures are
changed drastically due to global warming effect. The necessity of design of air conditioning
system for residential/office buildings is increasing day-by-day and lot of professionals have
been developed in this field and adapted themselves into this field as consultants/designers
due to the increased requirement. Hence, we also felt necessity to learn this subject and
upgrade our knowledge in this field of air conditioning.
