Mechanical Ventilation with ASHRAE 62.2-2010 (with Paul Raymer)

 Mechanical Ventilation with ASHRAE 62.2-2010

Mechanical ventilation is the ticket for tightening! Don’t stop getting the house tighter at some arbitrary point. With mechanical ventilation you can go beyond, saving more energy and more money. Besides; it’s not optional any more – codes, standards, and programs now require ventilation. You now have to comply with the ASHRAE 62.2-2010 Standard!

Our online course can help you do that by ensuring you understand the Standard and are able to use it to your best advantage.

Why take our course?

• This is not a passive course – you will be confronted by actual examples where you’ll have to apply the components of the Standard. We can even take on the challenge of your own house!
• You can get both BPI and RESNET CEUs.
• You’ll get a whole bunch of useful support materials.
• Since you have to know this stuff, why not learn it from the best?
• Our trainer has been working with ventilation for more than 35 years and wrote the book on this stuff. Literally! And he has been a part of writing the ASHRAE 62.2 Standard for 10 years. He chaired the residential ventilation team for the Vice President’s National Standard Work Specifications.

We hope you’ll join us. How hard could it be?
