  1 HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
  • When you think of the types of critical equipment that span all kinds of critical facilities, HVAC equipment is probably some of the first that comes to mind. As a Critical Operator, you will need to know not only what this critical equipment is and how it functions, but the basic scientific ideas behind the critical functions they provide. In this module, you will learn about the fundamental concepts related to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

  2 Plumbing and Other Mechanical Systems
  • There are a few critical systems that will be found in every single critical facility you might encounter—HVAC is one, and plumbing is another. Every facility will rely on the water supply and waste removal that a plumbing system provides. In addition, there are numerous other kinds of secondary mechanical systems that you may come across as a critical operator, directly related to the kinds of services or products that the critical facility provides.
