Compare and contrast the material properties and uses of the various types of plastic piping, including storing and handling, safety issues, and types of fitting and hanging equipment. Analyze the use of plastic piping in plumbing systems and HVAC systems. Describe the factors influencing the decision to use plastic piping in a residence. Demonstrate the ability to select the correct materials, tools, and PPE to complete plastic piping projects by creating a list of the items needed for a specific installation. For example, for a residential bathroom sink drain, create a basic list of the materials, tools, and equipment needed to install the drain.
Examine safety considerations specific to HVAC technicians by identifying possible hazards on a job site. Analyze the regulations that impact the work of HVAC technicians, such as the Clean Air Act and EPA guidelines. Create an informational artifact summarizing these regulations to an individual contemplating starting an HVAC business, explaining key considerations and citing resources that the future business owner can consult. Describe the basic components included in an HVAC system, outlining the purposes of each, citing textual resources such as blueprints, manuals, and manufacturers’ specifications. Drawing on this evidence, write persuasively to describe the impact of a well-tuned HVAC system on building energy efficiency as well as on human health and well-being. Similarly, describe the negative consequences that can arise due to a poorly functioning or improperly installed HVAC system

Explain the fundamental concepts of heating and combustion, including describing the processes by which heat is transferred. Illustrate the differences in heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation by performing experiments. Record observations, citing evidence that heat is being transferred, identifying the heat source, noting the direction heat is moving, and determining the type of heat transfer taking place. Relate the types of heat transfer to the various heating systems used within a building. Examine the schematic basic layout of a heating system within a building, such as a single family residence, and note the movement of heat, identifying areas of heat loss and heat gain. Citing the principles of heat transfer, propose strategies the homeowner could use to conserve energy in the home.
