Class Schedule
This full day training class is designed to introduce HVAC Contractors, General building Contractors, and Mechanical Engineers to the process of sizing, designing and installing small Commercial HVAC Systems.
The training class includes two specific components:
1. Review of all objectives and priciples covered in the first two courses of this series.
2. Hands on software exercises guided by the instructor to verify students can properly design an HVAC package unit system for quality installation, as well as properly design the duct system.
As homes become tighter and use energy more efficiently, airflow and airflow balance is going to become increasingly important . Comfort and indoor environmental quality are dependent upon proper airflow into each room. The session starts with a classroom discussion covering the basic science and calculations involving airflow balance. Followed by a lab session that allows the material covered in the classroom to be put to practical use in a lab exercise.
Airflow measurements will be made with a flow grid and flow hood, other topics that will be demonstrated focus on the California Title 24 Part 6, approved Airflow measurement and Fan Watt efficacy calculations.
Class Overview
The New Homes Solar Partnership for Solar PV rater verification process is covered in full day class and includes information on the program plus efficiency measures (building envelope and renewables including PV and Solar Thermal), photovoltaic system siting, shading, equipment verification, PV system technologies, Title 24 Residential Performance compliance, tangent lookups, compass rose, installation and verification information and solar glossary.
Audience
Electricians and other building professionals interested in Solar PV installation.
This full day training class is designed to introduce HVAC Contractors, General Building Contractors, and Mechanical Engineers to the process of duct design and register selection when installing small Commercial HVAC systems. This class includes four specific components.
1. Classroom instruction of the ACCA Duct Design procedure.
2. Classroom instruction on effects of CFM, velocity and pressure on duct desgins and general airflow terminology.
3. Duct sizing practice exercises.
4. Register selection and placement.

Class Overview
This session covers the science and application of airflow principles to the efficient operation of HVAC equipment. Many of the residential systems in California suffer from the inefficiencies caused by high static pressure. Included in this training is a hands-on portion designed to compare various filters, fittings and layout issues that cause high static pressures.
Class Overview
A residential split system air conditioner undergoes its final assembly at the time of installation. An important factor is the amount of refrigerant in the system (commonly referred to as proper charging). Air conditioner energy efficiency suffers if the refrigerant charge is either too low or too high. This training is designed to assist Raters and HVAC technicians to properly perform a Refrigerant Charge verification. This is a Hands-on class with operational equipment. Please feel free to bring your verification equipment.
This ½ day program goes through the Building Science behind Heat, Moisture and Pressure transfers that occur dynamically each day. Using the principles found in the “Second Law” we can locate problems affecting buildings. This is part of the Series dealing with Building and Pressure Diagnostics.
