HVAC Courses

Building Science - 2 days

An indepth look at the workings of a Home or Commercial building with regard to Building Pressures, Indoor Air Quality, Energy efficiency, heat loss and heat gain as well as the combined effects on air infiltration, moisture levels, mold, make up air and combustion air sources.  We explore the effects of positive and negative pressures created within the building envelope as well as methods to control air pressures.  Balancing of warm air systems and air distribution requirements. 

Indoor Air Quality - 2 Days

A major factor in many of todays homes and buildings is the quality of air within the structure.  With many suffering allergies, viruses, illnesses, pollutants in the building air are often major contributors.
