Upon completion of this course, participants will have a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of Mechanical installations techniques. Participants will have in-depth knowledge of HVAC, Elevators, Fire fighting and fire alarm systems, Pumps, Drainage system, Heating system , isolation materials inside the buildings, equipment selection, proper operation, trouble shooting through presentation of actual case studies.

Participants will divide into two or three groups and each group will receive a project and at the end of this course, each group will present their project design.

The course should benefit engineering personnel responsible for Mechanical systems.
