Physics is the branch of science that studies the fundamental principles of the universe, including the study of energy and its various forms. In the context of HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, a solid understanding of physics is critical for designing, operating, and maintaining efficient and effective systems.

Energy is a fundamental concept in physics. Energy is a system’s ability to do work or cause change. Energy is required in HVAC systems to heat or cool air, move air through ducts, and power various system components. At Sparkle Energy, you will learn about all aspects of the energy industry.

Understanding different types of energy, such as kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), and thermal energy, is central to the study of energy in physics (energy associated with temperature). HVAC systems frequently involve energy conversion from one form to another, such as electrical energy to thermal energy for heating or cooling.
