COURSE TITLE: Plumbing Systems Design
COURSE NO: M05-030
COURSE PROVIDER: Elie Tawil, P.E., LEED AP
Plumbing Systems Design
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic guide to the design of plumbing systems. 

 

This course presents the criteria pertinent to the design of drainage (sanitary and storm water), water supply, and fuel gas systems. It also describes the energy conservation requirements associated with these systems.

 

Plumbing systems are essential for supplying clean water, handling sanitary/stormwater, and delivering fuel gas in buildings. They encompass several key components such as pipes, valves, fixtures, heaters, and other accessories. Plumbing systems are one of the main aspects of building design.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and plumbing engineers as well as other technical personnel interested in learning more about plumbing systems.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

 

  • Understanding the drainage systems which comprise of sanitary systems, sumps & sump pumps, interceptors, chemical wastes, backwater valves, food waste grinders, floor drains, storm water drainage, downspouts, sub-soil drains, P-traps, venting requirements and combined sanitary and storm drainage system
  • Learning about water supply systems which comprise of supply water service, water hammer arrestors, booster systems, hydro-pneumatic system guidelines, hot water systems, type of units and circulation schemes, chilled water drinking systems, types of units and design
  • Familiarizing with insulation of plumbing systems
  • Learning about fuel gas systems and understanding their safety precautions
  • Familiarizing with the energy conservation related to the different plumbing systems such as water source heat pumps, heat recovery air conditioning systems, auxiliary condensers, solar domestic hot water heater, and more

COURSE TITLE: Design of Potable Water Plumbing Systems
COURSE NO: M04-023
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Design of Potable Water Plumbing Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides comprehensive design methodology and underlying principles of plumbing water systems. This course addresses the design criteria for estimating potable water demand for residential and transitory use facilities.  This course is intended to provide basic information, which may be used for conceptual design in the absence of any more appropriate information.

 

Plumbing water distribution systems are designed on the idea of the most probable peak demand loading, which reflects the worst-case scenario for a system. These types of systems require different considerations than large-scale water distribution networks. The difference is primarily attributed to uncertainty regarding the use of plumbing fixtures, hence uncertainty in demand loadings.

 

This 4 PDH online course is aimed at architects, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, facility designers, health and environment professionals, energy auditors and anyone who wants a basic understanding of plumbing systems.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understand the factors influencing the potable water demand
  • Learn the model plumbing codes applicable to potable water plumbing systems
  • Learn the Hunter's method for approximating peak demand loadings on a building's water distribution system
  • Describe the terms maximum flow, average flow, maximum probable flow, continuous demand and intermittent demand
  • Understand the fixture unit concept to determine the rate of flow with a plumbing pipe
  • Learn with example the application of Hunter's curve and demand tables
  • Learn the American Water Works Association (AWWA) "Fixture Value Method for sizing service water mains for non-residential demands
  • Learn four approaches related to plumbing water pipe sizing
  • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using copper v/s plastic pipe for potable water service
  • Understand the method of sizing booster water pump/s
  • Understand the regulatory requirements and system reliability considerations when analyzing or estimating water demands
