Class Schedule

Description:

It is recommended that participants attend the ACCA Manual J Equipment Sizing and Selection and ACCA Manual D Duct Design courses prior to attending this class. This class will step beyond the introduction to ACCA Manual D to more advanced topics, including how to perform Manual D calculations both manually and using the official Wrightsoft ACCA computer software program. This class will be presented using computers for hands-on training. Participants will perform group exercises and have the opportunity to work on individual problems with the instructors assistance. Class topics will cover – Homes with multiple HVAC systems – Two-story homes with single systems – Using the computer program to generate room-by-room load calculations and select HVAC equipment – How to use the graphic design module of the computer software, which automatically calculates room-by-room load calculations and provides Manual D duct design. North American Technician Excellence (NATE) continuing education credits are available for this course.

Description:

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 package unit systems. This class includes three specific components: 1. Classroom instruction of the building science affecting equipment capacity and building loads. 2. Hands on training in the use of Wrightsoft™ to size small commercial loads. 3. Classroom instruction on the proper sizing procedures in ACCA Manual CS, and California Title 24 Ventilation Regulations.

Description:

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.
