PDH PRESENTATION TOPIC:
HVAC Sensors

Great Control Requires Comprehensive  Measurement

Sensors are often considered a commodity or an afterthought in the design of a building. While sensors may be ubiquitous in buildings, their function is vital to proper control, comfort, and safety. In this class we will tour a building, examining the application and function of everyday sensors.  We will also investigate clever innovations in sensor calibration and examine the ideology behind changing from relative humidity control to dew point control.
