Training Overview:

PLEASE REGISTER HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaO91qNpUiwJnf0FQ_C41xhp8SFm5u... This one-day course is intended to help attendees become familiar with several different types of HVAC systems commonly used in commercial buildings. We describe how each system works, how to identify them, and what types of buildings it is found in. Then for each system type, we will discuss various ways that it can be upgraded to (or combined with) heat pump technology to improve system efficiency and help with the electrification movement.
