PPD (& PDD) - Math?

March 30, 2023 19:32

Hi! I'm in the middle of studying for PPD, and I am starting to feel a little nervous.

Can anyone speak to the calculations on these exams? What types of calculations should I make sure to study? I feel like I am studying HVAC and assemblies, but I do think that something is missing from my study routine.

Thanks for any insight!

Mitch,

PPD does not have structural calculations. But you should be able to do FAR math, select structural systems, etc.

PPD is about selecting the correct systems, more than designing them.

Hope this helps!
