Fundamentals Course

TAB Fundamentals Course

TAB Fundamentals course is an optimal mix of classroom instruction, practical training, and problem-solving challenges. Classroom instruction is an essential component of the course, as it provides the foundational knowledge of HVAC thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, psychrometrics, electricity, TAB equations, safety, systems, refrigeration and equipment. Practical training provides students with hands on experience using state- of- the- art equipment and instruments to apply classroom learning by measuring air and water system velocity, flow, pressure and temperature, electrical voltage and current and fan rotational speed. Problem-solving challenges in class, during practical exercises and assigned in daily homework help students develop critical thinking and analytical skills which are essential for a TAB technician’s success. EAB’s instructors with decades of industry experience offer students proficiency in using air, water, and electrical instrumentation, making balancing calculations, conducting duct traverses, adjusting belts and sheaves, and understanding HVAC systems, equipment, and components.
