Learn about ventilation requirements and approaches, and how heat/energy recovery can be used to increase efficiency of HVAC systems.
This training assumes some basic knowledge of HVAC equipment, and it will focus on commercial and institutional buildings.
Agenda:
– Ventilation
– Introduction to Heat Recovery – Conserving Energy vs Recovering Energy and why you need to do both
– Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) Systems
– Hot Gas Reheat (HGRH) for Packaged RTUs
– Heat Reclaim Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Heat Pumps
– Chiller Heat Reclaim
– Other Solutions – Water Source Heat Pump Loop, Stack Economizers for Steam Boilers, Plumbing Waste Water
Coffee and light breakfast will be available starting about 8:30am. Class starts at 9:00am. Buffet lunch will be provided. Continuing education units (CEUs) will be available through UMass.
Instructor: Ryan Hoger is the Director of Training at Temperature Equipment Corp. where he has worked since 1997. He is a former president of the Illinois ASHRAE Chapter and has been active with gas/electric utility committees. He has extensive experience with energy codes, building automation systems (BAS), energy recovery ventilators (ERV), dual fuel heat pump systems, Aeroseal duct sealing, smart thermostats, variable refrigerant flow (VRF), economizers and packaged RTUs, demand controlled ventilation (DCV), and other energy conserving HVAC systems. Ryan has written HVAC articles for various publications and is the featured instructor on TecTube (https://www.youtube.com/tectubefilms).
