Provided by CaptiveAire 1 CEU provided Speakers: Bill Griffin, German Tabor, Kyle Thompson, Nick Perry Course Description: Nobody cares about ductwork. Should you? Absolutely.  We’ll show you why as we explain proper air diffusion, leakage, condensation, and the impact ductwork has on equipment selection and performance. If you’re still thinking of airflow in terms of 400 CFM per ton and traditional diffusers, this is the video for you. Prerequisite Knowledge: None Learning Objective 1: Understand the purpose of air diffusers, how air moves in a space, as well as the distinction between traditional and high induction systems. Learning Objective 2: Understand the importance of thorough duct design in a building and the negative impact of field changes and leaks in a duct system. Learning Objective 3: Understand how duct design can affect airflow requirements and equipment selection. Learning Objective 4: Understand duct condensation and how smart HVAC controls can prevent it. Video link: https://youtu.be/7uQtCyIHIJ4
