Description:
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 HERS 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.

The course covers Basic concepts of duct design. Covers air flow dynamics and static pressures within the systems, defines and explains EL, friction rate, location, throw and spread of grilles, registers and diffusers. Includes a Software portion for Wrightsoft and will include Elite. The information covers efficiencies relating to design, installation as well concepts focusing on delivered efficiencies, operating points, fan and duct curves.
Class Overview:
Day 2 – Building Energy Science
CLASSROOM: Discuss ‘Static Pressure and Airflow, Air Flow Measurement Techniques-Plenum Pressure Matching Method, Flow Hood, Flow Grid.’
HANDS ON: Measurements-Static Pressure and Airflow, Using The equipment approved in California. Fan watt draw and Airflow using Retrotec and TEC equipment.
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 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.
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.
