Course Overview
This hands-on course teaches how to perform accurate building thermal load calculations using the HAP software. Participants learn to structure projects, model spaces and zones, define envelope and internal loads, configure HVAC systems, and size equipment based on peak sensible/latent loads. Emphasis is placed on credible inputs, psychrometrics-driven airflow sizing, and defensible reporting that stakeholders can trust. By the end, learners complete an end-to-end capstone model and leave with reusable templates, QA checklists, and reporting practices that transfer directly to real projects.
Course curriculum
Module 1: HAP Setup & Workflow — navigate interface, units, templates, weather, schedules; define a repeatable modeling workflow.
Module 2: Spaces, Zones & Constructions — define spaces, group zones, input envelope properties, internal loads, infiltration, and ventilation.
Module 3: Systems & Equipment — select common system types; enter capacities and control assumptions; link systems to zones.
Module 4: Peak Load Calculations — run sizing simulations; interpret sensible/latent components, diversity, ventilation effects, and design days.
Module 5: Psychrometrics & Airflows — determine coil states, supply temperature, and required airflows; account for fan heat.
Module 6: Reporting & QA — generate load reports, schedules, equipment lists; validate models; correct data issues.
Module 7: Capstone Mini-Project — build an end-to-end model from plans; present results and recommendations.

General FAQ
Are there any prerequisites to join?
Most courses are open-entry and require no prior training. For advanced or technical programs, we may recommend specific background knowledge or work experience, which will be stated in the course outline.
Will participants receive certification?
Yes. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Turning Point Training Institute Certificate of Completion, issued and attested by the KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority) upon request. For customized on-the-job programs, participants may also earn CPD-accredited points, recognized by professional bodies internationally, also upon request.
What do Turning Point courses focus on?
Our courses are built for real-world impact through an On-the-Job Training (OJT) delivery model. We focus on field-relevant skills, actual workplace scenarios, and job-specific outcomes—ensuring participants apply what they learn directly within their day-to-day roles. Training is not limited to the classroom; it’s embedded into real tasks, real tools, and real-time operations to maximize relevance and retention.
Can Turning Point courses be converted into academic credits?
In select cases, participants may be able to use their training experience as part of a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process to earn academic credit at a university. Turning Point acts as a facilitator—we help you document your learning, align it with academic standards, and prepare submissions. However, we do not guarantee credit transfer. Final decisions rest entirely with the admitting university, based on its internal criteria, policies, and case-by-case evaluation.
