The Certified District Cooling Professional (CDCP) Training Program is a comprehensive, industry-leading certification designed to equip professionals with the expertise to design, operate, optimize, and assess district cooling systems. Covering every stage of the district cooling lifecycle—from load analysis and equipment selection to distribution network design, thermal energy storage (TES), and energy assessment—this program integrates technical rigor with practical application. Aligned with global best practices, CDCP empowers participants to build efficient, scalable, and sustainable cooling infrastructure for communities, campuses, and cities.

What you will Learn
By completing this program, you will learn:
1. Plant Load Analysis
Calculate peak and annual cooling loads, interpret diversity factors, and avoid oversizing/undersizing risks.Use simulations and site measurements to model hourly load profiles.
2. Equipment Expertise
Design and select water chillers (refrigeration cycles, refrigerants, components like compressors/evaporators).Optimize heat rejection (cooling towers, air-cooled condensers) and pumping systems (variable speed drives, performance curves).Leverage TES to shift peak loads, reduce capacity needs, and improve economic performance (ice tanks, slurry storage).
3. Distribution Network Design
Engineer chilled water (constant/variable-flow systems) and condenser water networks (piping, economizers, heat recovery).
4. Controls & Instrumentation
Specify sensors (temperature, flow, pressure), control valves, and DDC controllers to integrate chiller plants, VFDs, and power metering.Monitor performance and troubleshoot via real-time data.
5. Design Optimization
Select chilled water flow arrangements (primary-only vs. primary-secondary), optimize temperatures, and size chillers/piping for energy savings.Fine-tune control sequences (staging chillers, reset temperatures) to maximize efficiency.
6. Procurement & Commissioning
Navigate chiller procurement (life-cycle costing, vendor bids) and oversee startup/commissioning (levels, roles, and phase-specific responsibilities).
7. Regulations & Compliance
Adhere to district cooling design standards, water management rules, and key performance indicators (KPIs) for reliability and energy efficiency.
8. Energy Assessment
Use tools like Arcadia™ to evaluate electrical energy consumption, seasonal efficiency (SEER), and identify improvement opportunities.
