HVAC System Airflow and Static Pressure Diagnostics @ SCE Energy Education Center, Irwindale
Feb 25 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

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.
