Thermal Systems & Heat Management

Understand heat transfer principles and thermal design for optimizing workshop equipment, building systems, and project performance. Learn heat transfer analysis for kiln design, furnace construction, and heat treatment processes used in metalworking and ceramics. Practice insulation design and thermal barrier construction for energy efficiency in workshop spaces and community buildings. Develop skills in cooling system design for electronics projects, workshop climate control, and food preservation systems. Build thermal management systems that support both workshop processes and community infrastructure needs including solar heating, thermal mass, and passive cooling.
