Brief                 The class starts with a definition of DDC system. After background information on computer controlled DDC systems the class goes into a discussion of the functions/uses of a DDC system. Each function is explained with an example. System components of a DDC system are then discussed. In particular the discussion is centered on the controllers used and their types. The class then discusses the actual loops that a controller can perform and the overrides that can be implemented such as Night Cycle override. It is explained that the controllers also need different levels of programming to function properly. In particular the data file and program file programming are identified. This leads to the custom programming capability of DDC controllers. The class concludes with examples of actual control loops. In particular the class focuses on the discharge control of cooling with damper sequencing.

                        The class does not use hands on lab stations but class worksheets are used to reinforce learning.
