Abstract:
This document, which is intended to serve as a guide for work force preparation program providers, details the Illinois occupational skill standards for programs preparing students for employment in jobs in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) industry. Agency partners involved in this project include: the Illinois State Board of Education, Illinois Community College Board, Illinois Board of Higher Education, Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, and the Illinois Department of Employment Security. The document begins with a brief overview of the Illinois perspective on occupational skill standards and credentialing, the process used to develop the skill standards, and assumptions underlying the standards. Presented next are skill standards for 75 tasks typically performed by HVAC/R technicians. Each skill standard statement contains the following components: (1) the actual skill standard (including the conditions of performance, work to be performed, and performance criteria); (2) performance elements; and (3) performance assessment criteria. The tasks for which skill standards are provided are organized into the following categories: (1) accident and emergency procedures; (2) evaluation and replacement of air conditioning units, heat pumps, and refrigeration; and (3) evaluation and inspection of furnaces and air handlers. Appended are the following: list of contents of the HVAC/R technician tool kit; glossary; lists of Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics Subcouncil and HVAC/R Technician Cluster Standards Development Committee members; and list of necessary workplace skills.

Abstract:
This document contains a teacher's guide and student guide for a high school-level competency-based course in air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) equipment electrical systems. Presented in the teacher's guide are the following: explanation of the instructional units' use; competency profile for recording students' performance of the tasks in each unit; national competencies correlated to the unit objectives, assignment sheets, and job sheets; a list linking unit tasks to the related academic workplace skills and competencies they are designed to reinforce; a list of required tools, equipment, and materials; and a list of the six references used to develop the publication. Presented next are the 15 units of instruction. Each unit contains some or all of the following: objective sheets, suggested activities, written test, unit evaluation activity, assignment sheet and written test answers, teacher supplements, transparency masters, information sheet, student supplements, and assignment sheets. The following topics are covered: fundamentals of electricity; tools, materials, and test instruments; electrical power; circuits, symbols, and diagrams; controls and protection devices; transformers and relays; thermostats; introduction to electric motors; split-phase motors; capacitors; capacitor motors; three-phase motors; troubleshooting ACR system electrical circuits; and ACR system wiring diagrams. The corresponding units in the student's guide contain some or all of the following: objective sheets, information sheets, student supplements, assignment sheets, and job sheets. (MN)
