Air control dampers are an essential component of a building’s HVAC system, regulating heating, cooling, and ventilation performance. Presented here is an introduction to control, balancing, backdraft, industrial, and multizone dampers; each type plays an important role in the HVAC system. Discussed are damper types, components, and performance metrics. Guidance is provided for damper specification, installation, maintenance, and inspection.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify the different types of air control dampers and how they maintain acceptable indoor air quality and occupant comfort by regulating heating, cooling, and ventilation performance.
