Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC – (1 CEU)

Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC - PDH Course Description: Modern buildings are complex; there are lighting systems, HVAC, pumps, security systems, utilities, and more. More often than not, it makes sense to connect all this equipment to a centralized controller or Building Management System (BMS) in order to properly monitor and control it all. In this video we explore how a custom BMS can extract the most performance out of a sophisticated piece of equipment like Paragon HVAC. We apply various use cases including troubleshooting, comfort, and efficiency examples, with a look towards the future and the use of AI. Prerequisite Knowledge: None Learning Objective 1: Understand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses. Learning Objective 2: Compare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach Building Management Systems can provide. Learning Objective 3: Understand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve the efficiency of HVAC equipment. Learning Objective 4: Understand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered by Building Management Systems.

Southern California Edison – Creating an Effective, Code-Compliant, Commercial Kitchen Ventilation (CKV) System in Vented and Ventless Applications – (1.5 CEUs)

Southern California Edison - Foodservice Technology Center 6050 N. Irwindale Avenue, Suite E, Irwindale

The purpose of an exhaust hood in your kitchen is to capture all the heat, smoke, and grease generated by the cooking equipment. If it fails to do its job, the grease and other particles will spill out making the kitchen less comfortable for your staff. And in many cases, undesirable odors and excess heat will make their way into the dining room and tax your HVAC system. New green building and heat illness regulations have introduced challenges to designers, environmental health specialists, and operators, who want to create effective and safe kitchen ventilation systems while remaining true to building and fire codes. Only well-designed and optimized exhaust systems will meet all standards. Learn how to optimize your kitchen exhaust system - whether vented or ventless, know when and how to use ventless exhaust, understand how kitchen electrification will affect hood requirements, and design systems that meet the energy and CalOSHA codes and standards. Learning Objectives: Research findings on indoor air quality in kitchens and dish rooms. See how space design and troubleshooting differ for various hoods, including with typical exhaust hoods, recirculating hoods and unhooded equipment. Understand upcoming revisions to Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and […]
