By the end of this course, learners will understand how Air Handling Units (AHUs) are commissioned, functionally tested, diagnosed, and maintained in a Building Management System (BMS) environment. They will learn how to verify installation readiness, field devices, controller I/O, sensors, actuators, communication, and BMS points as part of the commissioning process. Through guided walkthroughs, simulations, and practical scenarios, learners will evaluate AHU operation including fan status, airflow, temperature control, dampers, valves, interlocks, alarms, and control sequences. They will use operating data, alarms, trends, and diagnostic information to identify common mechanical, electrical, communication, and control issues. The course also introduces commissioning documentation, issue tracking, corrective action and re-testing, handover, and preventive and corrective maintenance practices that support reliable, efficient, and maintainable AHU operation.

Syllabus

Commissioning
- This module introduces the commissioning procedures used to verify the readiness, communication, performance, and operational status of AHU systems within a BMS environment. Learners will explore pre-commissioning checks, BMS–AHU communication and fault identification, and final validation and handover procedures to ensure reliable and compliant system operation.
Functional Testing and Verification of AHU Operations
- This module focuses on functional testing and verification of AHU operations during commissioning. Learners will examine key performance parameters such as airflow, temperature, pressure, and energy use, troubleshoot common operational issues, and apply systematic testing procedures to validate AHU performance before final approval and handover.
Maintenance Strategies and Troubleshooting for AHU
- This module introduces key maintenance strategies for AHU systems and develops learners’ ability to diagnose and troubleshoot operational issues. Learners will explore preventive and corrective maintenance, use BMS diagnostic tools to identify faults, and apply structured troubleshooting techniques in a simulated AHU environment.
