HVAC
HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and is the technology of indoor environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and indoor air quality. HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single-family homes, apartment buildings, hotels and senior living facilities, medium to large industrial and office buildings.
ARCHITECTURAL
Sheet metal architects plan and fabricate building paneling and roofing material from stainless steel, prefinished, galvalume & galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper.
TESTING, ADJUSTING AND BALANCING
Testing, Adjusting and Balancing (TAB) are the three major steps used to achieve proper operation of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. TAB usually refers to commercial building construction and the specialized contractors who employ personnel that perform this service.
SERVICE AND REFRIGERATION
Service and refrigeration certify how to perform maintenance checks, monitor and refrigerant correct coolant levels, and make sure a building's thermostat operates properly.
WELDING
A welder learns to join metal together using a variety of methods or fix holes in metal objects. They go on to work on structures such as pipelines, bridges, power plants, buildings, refineries, automobiles, and ships.
