Program details
Overview
This certificate in building mechanics at Polytechnique Montréal develops the skills to analyze, design, and adapt heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for institutional, commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. Courses cover heating, refrigeration, ventilation, energy efficiency, plumbing, automatic controls, and fire protection systems, addressing thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and energy consumption reduction. The 30-credit program is delivered part-time, with evening and online courses, and can be paced at 3, 6, or 9 credits per term. It targets engineers, technicians, technologists, and other professionals seeking to specialize in building mechanics, as well as property managers who oversee building portfolios and want to better understand HVAC system decisions. It can be combined with two other eligible certificates toward a cumulative bachelor's degree in building technologies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page does not state formal academic prerequisites; it describes the certificate as intended for engineers, technicians, technologists, and other building-mechanics professionals, as well as property managers who want to better understand HVAC system decisions. As with all Polytechnique Montréal undergraduate certificates, international students holding a study permit cannot be admitted, because these programs do not meet Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's requirements for that visa category.
