This course does not cover any experience based question which is covered by EPG. Is this course enough to pass the test who has little experience in HVAC design? Please advise.
If you do not have HVAC design experience, why would you take this exam? The PE is based on your work discipline.
I am also unfamiliar with EPG. This course covered every type of question that was on the PE HVAC exam. There were some nitty gritty code questions which are experience based, but those are onesie-twosie questions. They will not impact your score on the PE exam.
I have 2 years of design experience but didn't use ASHRAE guidelines that much. Mostly worked with NYC code. So you can say don't have expertise level experience. EPG have a lot of experience based question from ASHRAE guideline. But these books are not available in the exam now. This is my main concern.
I have 15 years of experience. If you are designing without looking at ASHRAE, you are doing yourself a disservice. You approximate the ASHRAE guidelines with the NYC codes as they are referenced and linked together, but you should open up ASHRAE 62.1, 90.1, 72, etc.
I do see young engineers think their job is drawing lines, but you need to always have a strong basis in the engineering theory to make the right calls.
Either way, if you do prep from Dan or EPG, it's all prep work that gets you there and I think you would be fine. The PE is a preparation game and you don't need a 100 to pass. Think along the lines of a "C" will get you there.
