Thermal and visual comfort, as well as indoor air quality, are requirements in most buildings today, both in commercial and service spaces, as well as in many industrial units. In many of these buildings there are still needs to heat swimming pools and produce hot water, both for bathing and for other uses. These requirements are satisfied with Lighting, Heating, Cooling, Ventilation (Air Conditioning), Pumping, Water Heating equipment, etc., which naturally consume electricity, fossil fuels and renewable energies (solar, biomass, geothermal), implying action to guarantee energy and environmental sustainability. The Higher Professional Technician course in Air Conditioning and Energy prepares technicians who supervise, install, operate and maintain the equipment that guarantees these functions.
