PDH Lectures
Chilled Water Solutions In Residential & Commercial Applications 1 ½ Hrs. 9:00 – 10:30 am
This course will discuss the misconception that Chilled Water units for heating and cooling are designed for large commercial applications only and require large cooling towers. Learn about the features and benefits of smaller, self-contained units that can deliver heating and cooling to residential and commercial spaces, which will add flexibility to any design. This course will also discuss product applications, including general heating and cooling, zoning and radiant heating.
Heating Efficiency: Offering Solutions To High Home Heating Costs 1 ½ Hrs. 10:30 am – Noon
This course will deal with the ongoing struggle to find ways to save on residential heating bills. From boilers to controls, learn about the products on the market today that can make your next project more energy efficient.
