Why You should take this training program
Are there cold rooms in your office? Do people complain about the different temperatures in the office? If so, then your cooling system is out of balance. National averages indicate that most AC systems operate at 50-60% efficiency and out of balance.
This training program builds on our basic and advanced AC courses and is all about how to move air / water to the proper place in a building. Air – for AC systems, Water – for Chiller Systems. This is a step-by-step HOW to evaluate what you have and change it to optimal state for performance. By doing so, you’ll save money on energy use and prolong the life of your equipment system. This course assumes a basic knowledge of HVAC principles.
