*HVAC (pronounced either "H-V-A-C" or, occasionally, "H-VAK") is an initialism/acronym that stands for "heating, ventilating, and air conditioning". This is sometimes referred to as climate control and is particularly important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as sky scrapers and in marine environments where humidity and temperature must all be closely regulated whilst maintaining safe and healthy conditions within. In certain regions (e.g., UK) the term "Building Services" is also used, but may also include plumbing and electrical systems. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR.
The HVAC industry is huge, worldwide, with career opportunities ranging from operation and maintenance, to system design and construction, to equipment manufacturing and sales, and to education and research. Annual sales are in the US$100's of billions. There are also hundreds of related local, national, and international professional, technical, trade, and labor organizations such as ASHRAE, SMACNA, ACCA, and AMCA, to name just a few, that support the industry and encourage high standards and achievement.
The three HVAC functions, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning, are closely interrelated. All seek to provide thermal comfort, acceptable indoor air quality, and reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, reduce infiltration, and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. How air is delivered to, and removed from spaces is known as room air distribution.
*In modern buildings the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems. For very small buildings, contractors normally "size" and select HVAC systems and equipment. For larger buildings where required by law, "building services" designers and engineers, such as mechanical, architectural, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems, and specialty mechanical contractors build and commission them. In all buildings, building permits for, and code-compliance inspections of the installations are the norm.

Hello,
It sounds interesting. I believe you need something in brief. Here i tried-
"
The term HVAC originates from the words Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning and it is usually employed when speaking about an individual who renovates older homes or perhaps facilitates building new ones, installs basic heating system, ventilating and also air conditioning accessories and much more."
Still not satisfied? Then visit the site i shared at the source. I am sure you will give me thanks for this.

HVAC (heating, ventilation and Air conditioning) systems for comforting any place or area and these are installed in buildings, offices, schools, colleges. HVAC System can also be installed in huge industrial areas for full ventilation and fresh air regulations. Such system is also used for decreasing contaminations in air of rooms and for full VOCs free environment.

A fire alarm system is number of devices working together to detect and warn people through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are present. These alarms may be activated from smoke detectors, and heat detector. Alarms can be either motorised bells or wall mountable sounders or horns. They can also be speaker strobes which sound an alarm. So in my opinion one should install fire alarm system in their house, building, school and etc. You can now buy fire alarm system from Ezzi Engineering. http://ezziengineering.com/products/fire-life-safety.html
