AutoCAD HVAC and Plumbing Design Training in Dubai , Sharjah
Course Overview of AutoCAD HVAC and Plumbing Design:
This course is designed for professionals in the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) sector who focus on the drafting and layout of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and plumbing systems. Participants will learn to create precise 2D layouts of HVAC and plumbing systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Key topics include ductwork and piping layouts, compliance with ASHRAE and IPC standards, and system coordination to ensure effective collaboration in building projects.Prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of HVAC and plumbing systems.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, including basic 2D drafting skills.
- Knowledge of MEP systems design is beneficial but not mandatory.
Who Can Take This Course:
- Mechanical Engineers, HVAC Designers, and Plumbing Designers in the MEP industry.
- CAD Technicians and Drafters involved in HVAC and plumbing design.
- Construction Professionals managing mechanical and plumbing installations.
- Students or professionals specializing in HVAC and plumbing design.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:- Customize the AutoCAD interface for HVAC and plumbing design.
- Create 2D layouts for HVAC systems, including ductwork, air handling units, diffusers, and grilles.
- Design plumbing systems with layouts for water supply, drainage, and sanitary piping.
- Apply ASHRAE (HVAC) and IPC (plumbing) standards for regulatory compliance.
- Perform basic load calculations and size equipment for HVAC and plumbing systems.
- Generate shop drawings, including plans, sections, and isometric views, for both HVAC and plumbing installations.
- Annotate designs with dimensions, symbols, and specifications.
- Manage layers, symbols, and blocks for efficient drafting.

FAQs
Q: Will this course cover both HVAC and plumbing systems?
A: Yes, this course covers both HVAC (ductwork, air handling, etc.) and plumbing (water supply, drainage) systems, focusing on layout and design.
Q: Can I design in 3D, or is this focused on 2D layouts?
A: The course primarily focuses on 2D layouts, commonly used in construction documents, but AutoCAD supports 3D, which you may explore later.
Q: What certification will I receive after completing this course?
A: You’ll receive a Certificate of Completion from Autodesk, validating your advanced AutoCAD skills, as we are an Autodesk authorized training center.
Q: Will I learn about industry standards like ASHRAE and IPC?
A: Yes, the course introduces relevant HVAC (ASHRAE) and plumbing (IPC) standards, ensuring compliant designs.
Q: Can I create installation ready drawings?
A: Yes, by the end of the course, you’ll be able to generate detailed, installation ready shop drawings.
Q: How do I coordinate HVAC and plumbing designs with other building systems?
A: AutoCAD’s layering system allows you to coordinate HVAC and plumbing designs with other systems to avoid conflicts and ensure a smooth installation process.
