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.

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.

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.
