Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Ventilation
ACGIH’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Industrial Ventilation Course will be presented entirely online through a combination of course modules and independent study. Course instruction offers how to interpret the results of a CFD analysis along with understanding how to use subsequent metrics to identify and improve the functionality of ventilation systems. CFD principles for various applications including athletics, health care, the automotive industry, the aviation industry, and most importantly for this course, ventilation design and troubleshooting will be reviewed. The course is intended for professionals who need a CFD analysis applied to their business with an understanding of how and why CFD could be a worthwhile solution. Attendees will also receive introductory steps to becoming a CFD user while understanding practical simulations.

Offered in-person at several locations throughout the year, “Fundamentals of Industrial Ventilation” builds upon the knowledge and skillset base established by the prior “Basics in Industrial Ventilation” course. More advanced topics will be introduced, such as evaluating the function and performance of industrial ventilation systems and how to troubleshoot and test existing systems. Besides strengthening pre-existing skills and experience, this course will continue building proficiency in industrial ventilation systems and will prepare participants for advanced instruction.
Ventilation Publications
New editions are available of the two manuals both designed to aid you along your Industrial Ventilation education path.
“Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design” – This manual has been used for decades to design and evaluate industrial ventilation systems.
“Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Operation and Maintenance” – This manual is written for practical use and contains an overview of how the systems work, recommended maintenance frequency, and troubleshooting guidance.
Pick up the two as a set or individually in either print or digital formats. Subscribers are also able to take advantage of special discounted pricing.
