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.
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.
Description:
Class Overview: Day 5- Building Envelope II CLASSROOM: Discuss ‘Thermal Bypass and Quality Insulation Installation’, ‘Thermal Imaging’. HANDS ON*: Inspect a wall section, working some of the areas discussed, Use an IR camera and review the results, using a hot wall for the training.
Career Paths: HERS Raters, BPI Contractors, Energy Auditors, Energy Analysts, Architects, Builders and Building Professionals, HVAC Contractors and Technicians, Utility Program Sponsors, Facility and Energy Managers, and Building Officials.
Audience: HERS Raters, BPI Contractors, Energy Auditors, Energy Analysts, Architects, Builders and Building Professionals, HVAC Contractors and Technicians, Utility Program Sponsors, Facility and Energy Managers, and Building Officials.
