Why Should You Take This Energy-Efficient HVAC Course?
Join us for an in-depth discussion on Energy-Efficienty HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. This live webinar explores options for energy-efficient HVAC systems, how this efficiency is determined, and design and engineering options for making buildings more efficient. HVAC is the primary user of energy in commercial buildings, so by addressing system efficiency, buildings can save a significant amount of energy and money. Taught by an experienced live instructor, this engaging 2-hour webinar concludes with an in-depth look at real-life examples and case studies, including application to the LEED green building rating system. After completion of the interactive live session, attendees will receive access to a recorded version.
