Class Schedule
This class will feature free equipment calibration. Attendees will have the opportunity to check HVAC, blower door and duct tester equipment calibrations. Instructor Gary Wollin will show attendees how to apply the principles for calibrating digital thermometers, refrigerant gauges (P/T) and pipe clamps used for checking pipe temperatures for both the liquid and suction lines. Attendees will be shown the field test procedure for digital manometers and be able to check personal manometers against newly calibrated manometers. Duct blaster inspections for proper airflow will also take place. There will be a demonstration on how to maintain duct blaster equipment including cleaning and checking for damage, and misalignment of the fan and plugged orifices.

Description:
It is recommended that participants attend this class prior to attending the Advanced ACCA Manual D class. This class provides a review of the ACCA Residential Design System and approved software, Manual D procedure, and proper documentation. Learn how to achieve efficiency compliance while optimizing duct work for competitive pricing and comfort. North American Technician Excellence (NATE) continuing education credits are available for this class.
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.
